The Mount of Olives Luke 19:29 ,  37 Excerpt The Mt of Olives gained its name from its extensive olive groves, which were renowned in antiquity ( Zec 14:4 ;  Mk 11:1 ). Its western face collects rainfall from the Mediterranean, which, together with decomposed limestone, makes for fertile orchards. The eastern side marks the boundary of the arid Judean wilderness. Bethany and Bethphage are two NT villages hugging these eastern slopes. ... During his final week, Jesus taught on the Mt of Olives ( Mk 13 ) and spent his evenings there ( Lk 21:37 , although this may refer to Bethany). Following the Last Supper, Jesus came to this mountain for prayer ( Mk 14:26 ). In a garden near an olive oil press ( “Gethsemane” ), he was arrested ( v 32 ). The final event of Christ on earth, his ascension, was viewed from the mount by his followers ( Acts 1:12 ).  More Elwell, Walter A., and Philip Wesley Comfort.  Tyndale Bible  Dictionary 2001 : 975.
