As they approached Jerusalem The phrase signifies a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry, as Jerusalem is not just a geographical location but the spiritual heart of Judaism. The Greek word for "approached" (ἐγγίζω, eggizō) implies drawing near with purpose. Jerusalem, the city of peace, is where Jesus will fulfill His mission. Historically, Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple, symbolizing God's presence among His people. This approach marks the beginning of the Passion Week, where Jesus will confront the religious authorities and ultimately sacrifice Himself for humanity's redemption. and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives Jesus sent out two of His disciples (1-10) And when they came nigh.--See Notes on Matthew 21:1-11. Unto Bethphage and Bethany.--The better MSS. give "Bethany" only. Verse 1. - And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives. St. Matthew (Matthew 21:1) says, "When they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage." St. Mark mentions the three places together, because Bethphage and Bethany, being near together, were also both of them close to Jerusalem. The distance from Jericho to Jerusalem (about seventeen miles) would involve a journey of about seven hours. The country between Jerusalem and Jericho is hilly, rugged, and desolate. It is from the height overhanging Bethany that the finest view of Jerusalem is gained. It appears from St. John (John 12:1) that our Lord on the preceding sabbath had supped, and probably passed the night, at Bethany; and that on the following day (answering to our Palm Sunday) he had come still nearer to Jerusalem, namely, to Bethphage; and from thence he sent two of his disciples for the ass and the colt. So his way to Jerusalem was from Bethany by Bethphage, the Mount of Olives, and the Valley of Jehoshaphat. The Valley of Jehoshaphat, through which flows the brook Kedron, lies close to Jerusalem. Bethphage literally means "the house of green figs," as Bethany, lying a short distance west of it, means "the house of dates." The date palm growing in the neighbeurhood would furnish the branches with which the multitude strewed the way on the occasion of our Lord's triumphal entry. He sendeth two of his disciples. Who were they? Bede thinks that they were Peter and Philip. Jansonius, with greater probability, thinks that they were Peter and John, because a little after this Christ sent these two to prepare for the Passover. But we know nothing certain on this point.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek Asὅτε (hote) Adverb Strong's 3753: When, at which time.
