A Rhythm of Ministry and Prayer
Commentators note Jesus's consistent pattern during his final week: teaching publicly in the temple by day and retreating to the Mount of Olives by night. Scholars suggest the word for "lodged" could even mean to "bivouac" or camp outdoors, implying he spent these nights in fervent prayer, likely in the Garden of Gethsemane, demonstrating his commitment to both public ministry and private communion with the Father.
