Mark 11:1

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem,.... The Syriac and Ethiopic versions read, "when he came nigh"; that is, Jesus; though not without his disciples, nor the multitude:unto Bethphage and Bethany; two places so called, near Jerusalem: Bethphage began where Bethany ended, and reached to the city itself.

The Vulgate Latin only makes mention of Bethany;See Gill on "Mt 21:1".
