'River' in the Bible

These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing.

So they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified -- see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!"

Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
