Greek Commentary for Luke 13:19
Either the sinapis nigra or the salvadora persica, both of which have small seeds and grow to twelve feet at times. The Jews had a proverb: “Small as a mustard seed.” Given by Mark 4:30-32; Matthew 13:31. in the first great group of parables, but just the sort to be repeated. [source]
Different from “earth” (Mark) or “field” (Matthew.)” Κηπος Kēpos old word for garden, only here in the N.T. and John 19:1, John 19:26; John 19:41.Became a tree (εγενετο εις δενδρον egeneto eis dendron). Common Hebraism, very frequent in lxx, only in Luke in the N.T., but does appear in Koiné though rare in papyri; this use of εις eis after words like κατεσκηνωσεν ginomai It is a translation Hebraism in Luke.Lodged Mark and Matthew have kataskēnoin infinitive of the same verb, to make tent (or nest).

See John 12:2 for another example of συν sun in John (common in Paul). The usual μετα meta reappears in John 18:2. Over “Beyond,” preposition with the ablative as in John 6:22, John 6:25. Brook Old word, flowing Literally, “of the Cedars,” “Brook of the Cedars.” Only here in N.T. So 2 Samuel 15:23. Textus Receptus like Josephus (Ant. VIII, 1, 5) has the singular κηπος tou Kedrōn (indeclinable). As a matter of fact it was always dry save after a heavy rain. A garden (kēpos). Old word, in N.T. only here, John 18:26; John 19:41 (Joseph‘s); Luke 13:19. John, like Luke, does not give the name Gethsemane (only in Mark 14:32; Matthew 26:36).
