Returning Once More to Bethany
PER287 describes the return of Jesus and his disciples to Bethany after a day at the Temple of Jerusalem, on Monday, March 28, AD 33. Attested mainly by Mark 11.19, this episode sheds light on the group's nightly routine around Martha, Mary and Lazarus. The article deals with the scattered hospitality, the role of the women, the daily round trips between Bethany and Jerusalem, and the disciples' failure to understand the announcements of the Passion.
Luke 22.7-13 (King James Version) :Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
