the ascent:
"And his feetª shall standª ° in that¹ dayª upon¹ the mountª of Olives,ª which¹ [is] beforeª ¹ Jerusalemª on the east,ª ¹ and the mountª of Olivesª shall cleaveª ° in the midstª ¹ thereof toward the eastª and toward the west,ª [and there shall be] a veryª greatª valley;ª and halfª of the mountainª shall removeª ° toward the north,ª and halfª of it toward the south.ª" {Zch 14:4} + "Andª it came to pass,ª ° whenª he was come nighª ° toª Bethphageª andª Bethany,ª atª the¹ mountª calledª ° [the mount] of Olives,ª he sentª ° twoª of his² ¹ disciples,ª" {Lke 19:29} + "And¹ when heª was come nigh,ª ° even² nowª atª the¹ descentª of the¹ mountª of Olives,ª the¹ wholeª multitudeª of the¹ disciplesª beganª ° to rejoiceª ° and praiseª ° Godª with a loudª voiceª forª allª the mighty worksª thatª they had seen;ª °" {Lke 19:37} + "Andª in the¹ day timeª he wasª ° teachingª ° inª the¹ temple;ª andª at nightª he went out,ª ° and abodeª ° inª the¹ mountª that is calledª ° [the mount] of Olives.ª" {Lke 21:37} + "Andª he came out,ª ° and went,ª ° as² he was wont,ª ¹ toª the¹ mountª of Olives;ª andª hisª disciplesª alsoª followedª ° him.ª" {Lke 22:39} + "Thenª returned¹ they² ° untoª Jerusalemª fromª the mountª calledª ° Olivet,ª which² is² °¹ fromª Jerusalemª a¹ sabbath² day's¹ journey.ª ² °" {Act 1:12}

mount Olivet:
Mount Olivet, so called from its abounding with olive trees, is situated east of Jerusalem, being separated from it only by the valley of Jehoshaphat and the brook Kidron. Josephus says it is five stadia, i.e., 625 geometrical paces from Jerusalem; and St. Luke ("Thenª returned¹ they² ° untoª Jerusalemª fromª the mountª calledª ° Olivet,ª which² is² °¹ fromª Jerusalemª a¹ sabbath² day's¹ journey.ª ² °" {Act 1:12}) says it is a Sabbath day's journey, or about eight stadia distant, i.e., to the summit. It forms part of a ridge of limestone hills, extending from north to south for about a mile; and it is described as having three, or, according to others, four summits; the central and highest of which overlooks the whole of the city, over whose streets and walls the eye roves as if in the survey of a model.

and wept as he went up:
Heb. going up and weeping, "My tearsª have been¹ my meatª dayª and night,ª while they continuallyª ¹ sayª ° unto¹ me, Where¹ [is] thy God?ª ... Why¹ art thou cast down,ª ° O my soul?ª and why¹ art thou disquietedª ° within¹ me? hopeª ° thou in God:ª for¹ I shall yet¹ praiseª ° him, [who is] the healthª of my countenance,ª and my God.ª" {Psa 42:3-11} + "Judgeª ° me, O God,ª and pleadª ° my causeª against an ungodlyª ª nation:ª ¹ O deliverª ° me from the deceitfulª and unjustª man.ª ¹ ... For¹ thou¹ [art] the Godª of my strength:ª why¹ dost thou cast me off?ª ° why¹ goª ° I mourningª ° because of the oppressionª of the enemy?ª °" {Psa 43:1-2} + "Why¹ art thou cast down,ª ° O my soul?ª and why¹ art thou disquietedª ° within¹ me? hopeª ° in God:ª for¹ I shall yet¹ praiseª ° him, [who is] the healthª of my countenance,ª and my God.ª" {Psa 43:5} + "Andª whenª he was come near,ª ° he beheldª ° the¹ city,ª and weptª ° overª it,ª" {Lke 19:41}

his head covered:
This custom was only practised by persons in great distress, or when convicted of great crimes. Thus Darius, when informed by Tyriotes, the eunuch, that his queen was dead, and that she had suffered no violence from Alexander, covered his head, and wept a long time; then throwing off the garment that covered him, he thanked the gods for Alexander's moderation and justice. "But the kingª coveredª °¹ his face,ª and the kingª criedª ° with a loudª voice,ª O my sonª Absalom,ª O Absalom,ª my son,ª my son!ª" {2Sm 19:4} + "And Mordecaiª came againª ° to¹ the king'sª gate.ª But Hamanª hastedª ° to¹ his houseª mourning,ª and having his headª covered.ª °" {Est 6:12} + "And their noblesª have sentª ° their little onesª to the waters:ª they cameª ° to¹ the pits,ª °² [and] foundª ° no¹ water;ª they returnedª ° with their vesselsª empty;ª they were ashamedª ° and confounded,ª ° and coveredª ° their heads.ª ... Because¹ the groundª is chapt,ª ° for¹ there was¹ no¹ rainª in the earth,ª the plowmenª were ashamed,ª ° they coveredª ° their heads.ª" {Jer 14:3-4}

barefoot:
"At the same¹ timeª spakeª ° the LORDª byª Isaiahª the sonª of Amoz,ª saying,ª ° Go² °¹ and looseª ° the sackclothª from off¹ ¹ thy loins,ª and put offª ° thy shoeª from¹ ¹ thy foot.ª And he did¹ so,² °¹ walkingª ° nakedª and barefoot.ª" {Isa 20:2} + "So¹ shall the kingª of Assyriaª lead awayª °¹ the Egyptiansª prisoners,ª and the Ethiopiansª captives,ª youngª and old,ª nakedª and barefoot,ª even with [their] buttocksª uncovered,ª ° to the shameª of Egypt.ª" {Isa 20:4} + "Forbearª ° to cry,ª ° makeª ° no¹ mourningª for the dead,ª ° bindª ° the tire of thine headª upon¹ thee, and put onª ° thy shoesª upon thy feet,ª and coverª ° not¹ [thy] lips,ª and eatª ° not¹ the breadª of men.² ¹" {Ezk 24:17} + "And your tiresª [shall be] upon¹ your heads,ª and your shoesª upon your feet:ª ye shall not¹ mournª ° nor¹ weep;ª ° but ye shall pine awayª ° for your iniquities,ª and mournª ° oneª toward¹ another.ª" {Ezk 24:23}

weeping:
"They that sowª ° in tearsª shall reapª ° in joy.ª ... He that goeth² ° forthª ° and weepeth,ª ° bearingª ° preciousª seed,ª shall doubtless² ° come² ° againª with rejoicing,ª bringingª ° his sheavesª [with him]." {Psa 126:5-6} + "Blessedª [are] they that mourn:ª ° forª theyª shall be comforted.ª °" {Mtt 5:4} + "Rejoiceª ° withª them that do rejoice,ª ° andª weepª ° withª them that weep.ª °" {Rom 12:15} + "Andª whetherª oneª memberª suffer,ª ° allª the¹ membersª suffer with¹ it;² ° orª oneª memberª be honoured,ª ° allª the¹ membersª rejoice with¹ it.² °" {1Co 12:26}
