hldrtha There too they spend the Sabbath which oi course ior lho Jews was and is on Saturday Saturday night Matthew tells us 156 Christ went to the home oi Simon the Moor ior supper where he was anointed by Mary John teik us 12mm that many oi the Jews oi Jeru saiem went out to see Himst Lazarus home thus rousing more jealousy in the chlci priests who called meeting at the Council to discuss put ting liim to death Bethany meaning the house oi datesl and its neighboring village oi Bethphage the house at unripe figs are about mile and two miles outside oi Jerusalem On Sunday morn4 ing April AJ 30 Jesus sends two of His disciples to Bethphape to procure the ass on which He rides into Jeru rnlcm Why does the Lord ride upon an ass He is not tired for it is morning and he is known to be vigorous walker iie meant instead to give special sym ltolic signiï¬cance to His entry into the Jewish capiti Throughout the Old Testament the horse is symbol war luxury and rupinc The ass on the
