And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:30 Go To Matthew 26
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
They sang a hymn of praise when they had eaten, so that we might learn to do the same as well. Jesus went to the Mount of Olives and not to any other place, lest He appear to be fleeing. For it was not to some unknown place that He went, but to a place very well known to the Jews. At the same time, He departed from that bloodthirsty city, abandoning it so that He might be pursued, and might later reprove them for coming after Him even as He was retreating from them.
