Matthew 21:17

17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

Ver. 17. And he left them ] As not willing to lose his labour, to cast away his cost upon men so unthankful, untractable.

Ludit, qui sterili semina mandat humo. (Ovid.)

Went out of the city into Bethany ] Haply for safety’ sake: undoubtedly for his delight and to refresh himself with his friend Lazarus, after his hard labour and little success.
