“Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: about: that is, about two miles”
John 11:18 (KJV)
Commentary on John 11:18
John notes Bethany's proximity to Jerusalem (about fifteen furlongs/two miles), explaining the many Jews present (v. 19). This geographical detail serves apologetic purpose: the miracle occurred near the religious capital with many witnesses. The nearness to Jerusalem also heightens narrative tension—Jesus performs His greatest sign within reach of those plotting His death. This proximity is providential, leading directly to the Sanhedrin's final decision (11:47-53).
