(place of olives). (2 Samuel 15:30; Acts 1:12) [OLIVES, MOUNT OF, MOUNT, MOUNT, MOUNTAIN OF]
Olivet
Jesus kept coming back to one hill east of Jerusalem. From the mount of Olives he sent two disciples ahead for a colt (Mark 11:1). He taught in the temple by day and at night “abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives” (Luke 21:37). There his disciples asked privately, “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” After the last supper they sang a hymn and went out to the same hill. Acts calls it Olivet and says it lies a sabbath day’s journey from the city. Matthew 24 is where to hear his answer.
