day's walk" (Greek: ): 2000 cubits (= 5 furlongs), about 5/8 mile or about 1 kilometer, showing a proximity to Jerusalem (fulfilling Jesus' command in ), as well as portraying the disciples as faithful Jews (cf. ). The distance seems differ significantly with the Bethany in , but the ascension site, according to Lightfoot, "was from the place where that tract of the Mount of Olives ceased to be called Bethphage and began to be called Bethany", not inside the village (15 furlongs far in Gospel of John).
