ἐν τ. ἱερῷ διδάσκων, teaching in the temple. The statement covers all that is related in Chapter s 20, 21, including the Apocalyptic discourse = Jesus made the most of His short time for the spiritual instruction of the people. ηὐλίζετο, lodged, imperfect, because done night after night. Some (e.g., Godet and Farrar) think Jesus with the Twelve slept in the open air. The word might mean this, though in Matthew 21:17 it appears to mean passed the night in a house in Bethany. εἰς τ. ὀ.: the use of εἰς is probably due to the influence of ἐξερχόμενος. But Tob 14:10 has a similar construction: μηκέτι αὐλισθῆτε εἰς Νινευῆ.
