Matthew Poole and continuators on John 12:1

THen Jesus, six days hefore the passover, came to Bethany , where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead .

From the Countrey near to the wilderness where he continued with his Disciples, Chap. 11.54. he came to Bethany within less than two miles of Ierusalem, upon the Sa[illegible: 1 letter] bath-day, or possibly the night before; six days before the Passover

it was the place where (as we read in the former Chapter) Lazarus dyed, and was by Christ raised from the dead.
