This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Ver. 28. In Bethabara] That is, by interpretation, the place of passage, or traiectum, where Israel passed over Jordan. So the acts of Joshua and Jesus begin both at a place. Baptism also is first administered where it was of old foreshadowed. Christ is the true Bethabara, Eph_2:18; we sail to heaven on his bottom.
