JERUSALEM.

fig-trees below and above,
growing out of the rocky
soil. Along the road the
multitudes threw down the
branches which they cut
as they went along, or
spread out a rude matting
formed of the palm-
branches they had already cut as they came out.
The larger portion—those perhaps who escorted
Him from Bethany—unwrapped their loose cloaks
from their shoulders and stretched them along
the rough path to form a momentary carpet as he approached
(Matt. xxi. 8). The two streams met. Half of the vast
mass, turning round, preceded; the other half followed
(Mark xi. 9). Gradually the long procession swept round
the little valley that furrows the hill, and over the ridge on
its western side, where first begins the descent of the Mount
of Olives towards Jerusalem. At this point the first view is caught of the south-western
NEBY SAMWIL, FROM THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES.
The highest mountain near Jerusalem, 3,006 feet
above the sea.
