Luke 21

Luke 21:31. "And in the day-times He was teaching in the temple; and at night He went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives." By this it is evident that Christ was commonly wont to lodge in the open field - He had not where to lay His head in Jerusalem: He had no friend there to invite Him in, and He had not money to purchase entertainment at an inn, and therefore it was His constant manner to go and lodge at a certain place in the mount of Olives, which was the place where He and His disciples were found when Judas betrayed Him; and therefore it is said in next chapter, verse Luke 22:39, that that night, "He came out, and went, as He was wont, to the mount of Olives; and His disciples also followed Him." And hence also John 18:1; John 18:2. (See also John 8 with 7:33). Hence we may learn that what is spoken of Christ figuratively in Song of Solomon 5:2, "I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved, saying, Open unto me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night," was often literally fulfilled while He dwelt here on earth, and that He often suffered greatly in being obliged to lodge abroad in the cold and rain.
