Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 21:1-46

Analysis Of The Section Matthew 19:3 to Matthew 22:46 . This whole Section may be analysed as follows: a Jesus’ testing commences with a question about divorce. b Jesus questions the Pharisees about what the Scriptures say. Scripture has demonstrated that God is the Creator and Lord over all, and that man cannot change what God has in His sovereignty declared, that a man and woman are to cleave together and become one flesh, which no man is to put asunder. Their relationship is unique.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 21:6-7

‘And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, and they brought the ass, and the colt, and spread their robes on them on them, and he sat on them.’ The disciples then went and did precisely what Jesus had appointed them. They brought the ass, with its colt, and festal robes were spread on both as part of the recognition of the event. And Jesus then took His place on the robes which covered the colt (‘on them’, that is, ‘on the robes’). We must not underestimate the skill and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 21:1-11

Matthew 21:1-1 Kings : . The Triumphal Entry ( Mark 11:1-1 Kings : *, Luke 19:23-Zechariah :, John 12:12-Psalms :).— Mt. curiously misrepresents the poetic description of one animal in Zechariah 9:9 by making Jesus send for two, and even perhaps ride upon both, though “ thereon” ( Matthew 21:7) may refer to the garments. The intimation to the owner that Jesus would speedily return the borrowed colt ( Mark 11:3) is changed to an assertion that the owner would at once comply with the Master’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 21:7-9

Mark saith, Mark 11:7-10, And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Luke hath it yet with more... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 21:1-46

Chapter 21Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, they were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, and then Jesus sent two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately you're going to find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any men say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will sent them. Now all of this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 21:1-46

Matthew 21:1 . When they were come to Bethphage. The rabbins dispute about the etymon of this village, whether it mean the “house of the fountain,” as is the literal import; or the “house of grossities,” or of flatterers. It was distant from Jerusalem a sabbath-day’s journey, that is one thousand nine hundred paces, and situate at the foot of mount Olivet. Mark and Luke join the two villages of Bethphage and Bethany together, for the road lay in the valley between the towns. Here the... read more
