MATTHEW 21:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.”
And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there. The withdrawal to Bethany — where Mary, Martha, and Lazarus lived (John 11:1) — is the pattern of Jesus' passion week: entering Jerusalem for the day, withdrawing to Bethany for the night. The withdrawal communicates that Jerusalem is not yet the place of residence but of confrontation.
