A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 21:17

"And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there." — Matthew 21:17 (ASV)

To Bethany (εις Βηθανιαν). House of depression or misery, the Hebrew means. But the home of Martha and Mary and Lazarus there was a house of solace and comfort to Jesus during this week of destiny. He

lodged there (ηυλισθη εκε) whether at the Bethany home or out in the open air. It was a time of crisis for all.
