The Gospel of John and the Gospel of Luke also mention a " Mary of Bethany ", who in some Christian traditions is regarded the same person as Mary Magdalene.

There is also a short reference to a person named " Martha " among the disciples, possibly the same person who is named as the sister of Mary of Bethany.

Jacobus de Voragine, compiling his Legenda Aurea ( Golden Legend ) before the competition arose, characterized Mary Magdalene as the emblem of penitence, washing the feet of Jesus with her copious tears ( although it is now believed that Mary of Bethany was the woman known for washing or anointing the feet of Jesus ) protectress of pilgrims to Jerusalem, daily lifting by angels at the meal hour in her fasting retreat and many other miraculous happenings in the genre of Romance, ending with her death in the oratory of Saint Maximin, all disingenuously claimed to have been drawn from the histories of Hegesippus and of Josephus.

The French tradition of Saint Lazare of Bethany is that Mary, her brother Lazarus, and Maximinus, one of the Seventy Disciples and some companions, expelled by persecutions from the Holy Land, traversed the Mediterranean in a frail boat with neither rudder nor mast and landed at the place called Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer near Arles.

In Roman Catholic tradition, Mary of Bethany is identified as Mary Magdalene, while in Eastern Orthodox and Protestant traditions they are considered separate persons.

" Mary of Bethany " itself is an anachronism, as she is just referred to as " Mary " both in and the Gospel of John.

The Mary appearing in Bethany is introduced in only by her first name, as if her identity was self-evident.

Mary of Bethany ( Judeo-Aramaic מרים, Maryām, rendered Μαρία, Maria, in the Koine Greek of the New Testament ; form of Hebrew מ ִ ר ְ י ָ ם, Miryām, or Miriam, " wished for child ", " bitter " or " rebellious ") is a biblical figure described in the Gospels of John and Luke in the Christian New Testament.

Together with her siblings Lazarus and Martha, she is described as living in the village of Bethany near Jerusalem.

In Latin tradition, Mary of Bethany is often identified as Mary Magdalene ( of whom more is recorded in the gospels as well as in later traditions ), while in Eastern Orthodox and Protestant traditions they are considered separate persons.

A narrative in which Mary of Bethany plays a central role ( in at least one of the accounts ) is the anointing of Jesus, an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John in which a woman pours the entire contents of an alabastron of very expensive perfume over the head or feet of Jesus.

The woman's name is not given in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, but the event is likewise placed in Bethany, specifically at the home of one Simon the Leper, a man whose significance is not explained elsewhere in the gospels.

In Roman Catholic tradition, Mary of Bethany is identified as Mary Magdalene, while in Eastern Orthodox and Protestant traditions they are considered separate persons.

The author of the Catholic Encyclopedia article goes on to enumerate the accounts of each of these three persons ( the unnamed " sinner ", Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany ) in the Gospel of Luke and concludes that based on these accounts “ there is no suggestion of an identification of the three persons, and if we had only Luke to guide us we should certainly have no grounds for so identifying them the same person .” He then explains first the Catholic position equating Mary of Bethany with the sinful woman of Luke by referring to, where Mary is identified as the woman who anointed Jesus, and noting that this reference is given before John ’ s account of the anointing in Bethany:

There is no evidence of Native American activity in the Bethany Beach area.

Prior to the arrival of European settlers in North America, Native American settlements appear to have been limited to the area north of the Indian River, north of what is now Bethany Beach ; even after Europeans pushed the Native Americans — mostly Nanticokes -- out of their coastal settlements in the mid-17th century, the Native Americans moved west to settle around Oak Orchard, Delaware, and in the Millsboro, Delaware, area rather than south toward what would become Bethany Beach.
