Luke 19:29
Unto Bethphage and Bethany ( εις Βηθφαγη κα Βηθανια ). Both indeclinable forms of the Hebrew or Aramaic names. In Mr 11:1 "Bethany" is inflected regularly, which see.Of Olives ( Ελαιων ). As in Mr 11:1; Mt 21:1, though some editors take it to be, not the genitive plural of ελαια (olive tree), but the name of the place Olivet. In the Greek it is just a matter of accent (circumflex or acute) Olivet is correct in Ac 1:12. See on Mt 21:1ff.; Mr 11:1ff. for details.
