Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:41-48

B. The beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Jerusalem 19:41-48This is a transitional section that bridges Jesus’ approach to the city and His teaching in it.

2. Jesus’ cleansing of the temple 19:45-46 (cf. Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-17)Judgment began when Jesus threw the merchants out of the temple courtyard.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:45-48

(45-48) And he went into the temple.—See Notes on Matthew 21:12-17; Mark 11:15-19. St. Luke apparently agrees with St. Matthew in thinking of the expulsion of the money-changers as taking place on the same day as the Entry. His narrative is here the least descriptive of the three. read more
