In the preceding chapter, there was tension between Jesus and the religious leaders. His decision to go to the Mount of Olives signifies a deliberate choice to withdraw from the conflict and seek solitude or prayer, a common practice in His ministry (<a href="/luke/5-16.htm">Luke 5:16</a>).<br><br>*went to the Mount of Olives*: The Mount of Olives is a significant geographical location east of Jerusalem, across the Kidron Valley. It is a ridge of hills that has been a site of many important biblical events. In the Old Testament, King David fled over the Mount of Olives during Absalom's rebellion (<a href="/2_samuel/15-30.htm">2 Samuel 15:30</a>). In the New Testament, it is the place where Jesus often went to pray and teach (<a href="/luke/21-37.htm">Luke 21:37</a>). It is also the location of the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed before His arrest (<a href="/matthew/26-36.htm">Matthew 26:36-46</a>). The Mount of Olives holds eschatological significance as well, as it is prophesied to be the place where Jesus will return (<a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4</a>).
