Strong's Lexicon Béthsaida: Bethsaida Original Word: Βηθσαϊδά Word Origin: From Aramaic, meaning "house of fishing" or "house of the hunt" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the name Bethsaida is derived from Hebrew roots: "beth" (house) and "tsaida" (hunting or fishing). Usage: Bethsaida is a town mentioned in the New Testament, known as a place where Jesus performed miracles and taught. It is often associated with fishing due to its location near the Sea of Galilee. Cultural and Historical Background: Bethsaida was a fishing village located on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was part of the region known as Gaulanitis during the time of Jesus. The town is significant in the Gospels as the home of several of Jesus' disciples, including Philip, Andrew, and Peter. It was also a place where Jesus performed miracles, such as healing a blind man (Mark 8:22-26) and feeding the multitude (Luke 9:10-17). The town's name reflects its economic reliance on fishing, a common occupation in the region.

Philip the tetrarch so increased its population that it was reckoned as a city, and was called Julius in honor of Julia, the daughter of the emperor Augustus (Josephus, Antiquities 18, 2, 1; Pliny, h. n. 5, 15). Many think that this city is referred to in Luke 9:10, on account of Mark 6:32, 45; John 6:1; others that the Evangelists disagree. Cf. Winers RWB under the word; Raumer, p. 122f; (BB.
