Βηθανίαν, Bethany, 15 stadia from Jerusalem (John 11:18), resting place of Jesus in the Passion week true friends there (vide Stanley, S. and P.). ηὐλίσθη, passed the night; surely not in the open air, as Wetstein and Grotius think. At passover time quarters could not easily be got in the city, but the house of Martha and Mary would be open to Jesus (cf. Luke 21:37).
