In the King James version

the word - Bethany - appears 11 times

* Mat 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. * Mat 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, * Mar 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, * Mar 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. * Mar 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: * Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. * Luk 19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, * Luk 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. * Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. * Joh 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: * Joh 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

Only the second-last one mentions where it is located.

A furlong is one-eighth of a mile, so fifteen furlongs is almost 2 miles.

It seems odd that a 'city" would be less than two miles from another city.
