Subjects in this Topic:
BETHPHAGE (‘house of figs’).—The place whence Christ, on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem, sent His disciples to fetch the ass (Mat_21:1, Mar_11:1, Luk_19:29). It must have been close to Bethany, and is traditionally identified with Abu Dis, a village that satisfies this condition.
