Luke 19:29-38

The triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 20:1-11; Mark 11:1-11). Βηθφαγὴ. Following Lightfoot and Renan, Godet regards this as the name not of a village but of a suburban district included for passover purposes in the holy city, pilgrims to the feast finding quarters in it. The reference to the two places Bethphage and Bethany is obscure and confusing. ἐλαιῶν, commentators dispute whether the word should be accentuated thus, making it genitive plural of ἐλαία, or ἐλαιών, making it nominative singular of a name for the place = Olivetum, olive grove. W. and H [154] print it with the circumflex accent, and Field (Ot. Nor.) and Hahn take the same view.
