マタイの福音書 21:8-11 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:5-8

Signs of meekness and sifters of joy. "Thy King cometh unto thee, meek;" "And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way." The word "meek" is used in Scripture for "not self-assertive," "not seeking one's own." It is not to be confounded with "humility." The apostle puts "humbleness of mind" and "meekness" alongside each other in such a way that we cannot fail to observe the distinction between them. Moses was the "meekest of men," but certainly not the most humble. It is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:6-11

The triumphant ride. This was arranged by Christ, and enthusiastically promoted by his disciples. Here was a last glint of sunshine before the storm. The gladness of the scene is in strange contrast with the awful sequel. Palm Sunday ushers in Passion Week. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." While the evil day has not yet come, gladness and the assurance of victory may be the best preparation for it. I. THE KING 'S TRIUMPH . Few spectators would see anything kingly in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:8

A very great multitude; ὁδε Ì πλεῖστος ὀ ì χλος : Revised Version, the most part of the multitude . This interpretation has classical authority (see Alford), but the words may well mean," the very great multitude;" Vulgate, plurima autem turba . This crowd was composed of pilgrims who were coming to the festival at Jerusalem, and "the whole multitude of the disciples" ( Luke 19:37 ). Spread their garments ( ἱμα ì τια ) in the way. Fired with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:9

The multitudes that went before, and that followed . These expressions point to two separate bodies, which combined in escorting Jesus at a certain portion of the route. We learn from St. John ( John 12:18 ) that much people, greatly excited by the news of the raising of Lazarus, when they heard that he was in the neighbourhood, hurried forth from Jerusalem to meet and do him honour. These, when they met the other procession with Jesus riding in the midst, turned back again and preceded... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:10

Was come into Jerusalem. Those who consider that the day of this event was the tenth of Nisan see a peculiar fitness in the entry occurring on this day. On the tenth of this month the Paschal lamb was selected and taken up preparatory to its sacrifice four days after ( Exodus 12:3 , Exodus 12:6 ). So the true Paschal Lamb now is escorted to the place where alone the Passover could be sacrificed. Taking A.D. 30 to be the date of the Crucifixion, astronomers inform us that in that year the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:11

The multitude; οἱὀ ì χλοι : the multitudes . These were the people who took part in the procession; they kept repeating ( ἐ ì λεγον , imperfect) to all inquiries, This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth . They give his name, title, and dwelling place. They call him "the Prophet," either as being the One that was foretold ( John 1:21 ; John 6:14 ), or as being inspired and commissioned by God ( John 9:1-41 .17). The appellation, "of Nazareth," clung to our Lord... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 21:8

And a very great multitude ... - Others showed the same respect by throwing their garments before him; others by cutting down branches of trees and casting them in the way. This was the way in which conquerors and princes were often honored. To cast flowers, or garlands, or evergreens before a warrior returning from victory, or a king entering into his kingdom, was a common way of testifying joyful and triumphant feeling. Thus Josephus says that Alexander and Agrippa were received at Jerusalem.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 21:9

Hosanna to the son of David ... - The word “hosanna” means “save now,” or “save, I beseech thee.” It is a Syriac word, and was a form of acclamation used among the Jews. It was probably used in the celebration of their great festivals. During those festivals they sang Psalms 115:0; Psalms 116:0; Psalms 117:1-2; Psalms 118:0. In the chanting or singing of those psalms, the Jewish writers inform us that the people responded frequently “hallelujah, or hosanna.” Their use of it on this occasion was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 21:10

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved - There was great excitement. The sight of such a multitude, the shouts of the people, and the triumphant procession through the city, excited much attention and inquiry. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 21:6-8

Matthew 21:6-8. The disciples went, &c. ( and found even as he had said unto them, Luke,) found his prediction exactly true. And how convincing must this have been of the divine mission of Jesus, not only to the two disciples that were sent, but to every unprejudiced person in that great multitude who were witnesses to his uttering the prediction, and saw the disciples bring the ass and the colt, and heard their testimony, that they had found every thing as Christ had foretold. This... read more
