Bethsaida (/bɛθˈseɪ.ɪdə/ beth-SAY-id-ə;[1] from Ancient Greek: Βηθσαϊδά, romanized: Bēthsaïdá; from Aramaic and Hebrew: בֵּית צַידָה, romanized: Bēṯ Ṣaiḏā, lit. 'House of the Fisherman' or 'House of the Hunter', from the Hebrew root צ-י-ד;[2][3] Arabic: بيت صيدا, romanized: Bayt Ṣaydā), also known as Julias or Julia (Ancient Greek: Ἰουλία, romanized: Ioulía), is a place mentioned in the New Testament. Julias lay in an administrative district known as Gaulonitis. Historians have suggested that the name is also referenced in rabbinic literature under the epithet Ṣaidan (Hebrew: צַידָן).[a][b]
