The next reference is Matthew xxvi." And again Eurie read: "'Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper." "The very place!" Flossy said, again. "Oh, I want so much to know what happened then!" "Won't Miss Mitchell read it to us?" Mr. Roberts said, and he arranged his shawl along the ground for seats. "Since we have really come to Bethany, let us have the full benefit of it.
Lawford turned his head and saw Sheila's coiled, beautiful hair in the firelight. 'You haven't told Alice? he asked. 'My dear good man, said Mr Bethany, 'of course we haven't. You shall tell her yourself on Monday. What an incredible tradition it will be! But you mustn't worry; you mustn't even think. And no more of these jaunts, eh? That Ferguson business that was too bad.
He stood there and streamed out all the names he could lay his tongue to. I wasn't unfriendly to the poor beggar. When Bethany let me into it I thought it was simply I did indeed, Mrs Lawford a monstrous exaggeration. Flatly, I didn't believe it; shall I say that?
He must go and get ready for the Passover. Jerusalem was about two miles away. He could not stay on in Bethany. He must go to Jerusalem at once. He called two of his disciples and gave his orders. "Go into the village, and there you will find a young donkey tied. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here.
And the face that now confronted Mr Bethany, though with his feeble unaided sight he could only very obscurely discern it, was vigilant and keen, in every sharp-cut hungry feature.

These episodes, one after another, she related to Martha; to Eleazer, her brother; to Simon, Martha’s husband; to anyone that chanced that way. For it was then that the Master had bade her go to Bethany. For a little space he too had forsaken Jerusalem.
It would be very singular if a man who kept the purse, and who knew what he would lose by the death of his chief, were to abandon the profits of his occupation in exchange for a very small sum of money. Had the self-love of Judas been wounded by the rebuff which he had received at the dinner at Bethany? Even that would not explain his conduct.
We know that Christ has walked on the Mount of Olives, and gone down to the Pool of Siloam, and tarried in Bethany; we know that here, within the circuit of our vision, He has suffered agony and death, and that from this little point went out all the light that has made the world greater and happier and better in its later than in its earlier days.
At its close Jesus sought retirement in Bethany, not only to soothe and prepare His spirit but to 'hide Himself' from the Sanhedrin. There He spent the Wednesday. Who can imagine His thoughts? While He was calmly reposing in Mary's quiet home, the rulers determined on His arrest, but were at a loss how to effect it without a riot.
Soon after Jesus had gone away from Bethany, His friend Lazarus became very ill. Martha and Mary longed for Jesus now, and they thought, 'If Jesus were here, our brother would not die; and they sent a messenger to Him to say 'Lord, he whom Thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, He stayed on quietly where He was for two days longer.
