The Hebrew ''Beit-tzaida'', adapted to Greek phonetics (the New Testament was written in Greek) and transliterated to Latin, yields Bethsaida. History New Testament According to , Bethsaida was the hometown of the apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip. In the Gospel of Mark (), Jesus reportedly restored a blind man's sight at a place just outside the ancient village of Bethsaida. In , Jesus miraculously feeds five thousand near ...
