Jn 11:18 ... Was now the Bethany near the Jerusalem, about away stadia fifteen.

Verse 18 has 2 phrases and these 11 narrator words, ... ēn de ē Bēthania, eggus tōn Hierosolumōn, hōs apo stadiōn dekapente (Was now the Bethany near the Jerusalem, about away stadia fifteen). Circles the size of Christ (1480) or Jesus (888) can be labelled as a unit of measurement, such as time or distance.

Diagram 1: In this diagram, the diameter of a Christ (1480) circle is called a Stadia. The 11 Christ (1480) sized words are bottom up in 3 groups of circles. The 1st group of 4 words, "ēn de ē Bēthania" (Was now the Bethany) are tangent to the sides and top 2 corners of the Bethany triangle. The 2nd group of 3 words "eggus tōn Hierosolumōn" (near the Jerusalem) are tangent to the top of the Bethany and the bottom of the Jerusalem triangles. The 3rd group of 4 words "hōs apo stadiōn dekapente" (about away stadia fifteen) are tangent to the bottom two corners and the sides of the Jerusalem triangle. The diagram shows 11 named Stadia circles between the top and bottom of the diagram holding the Bethany and Jerusalem triangles. Plus "about" 4 other circles "away" between the two cities.

Diagram 2: In this diagram, the diameter of a Jesus (888) circle is called a Stadia. Exactly 3 columns of Jesus (888) circles and/or semi-circles, a total distance of 15 stadias, are tangent between the two triangles labeled Bethany and Jerusalem. That is the same total as the 15 Christ (1480) circles that fill the space between the two large rectangles labeled Bethany and Jerusalem in Diagram 1. Therefore Bethany was near Jerusalem, measured by either 15 Christ (1480) stadia circles or by 15 Jesus (888) stadia circles.
