John 12:11-19 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:12-13

The next day (on the morrow) must be the day after the feast. We have seen that that feast probably took place on the evening of the sabbath. The events that happened are far more abundantly described in Matthew, Mark, and Luke—the excitement in Jerusalem, the method in which the triumph was carried through, the mode adopted to secure "the young ass," the weeping ever Jerusalem from the summit of the hill; none of these circumstances are inconsistent with this account. Brief, however, as our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:12-15

The triumphal entry. I. WHAT PRECEDED THIS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY . All the Galilsean and other ministries outside of Jerusalem must have contributed to this enthusiastic demonstration. It is often taken as an illustration of popular fickleness that the multitude said "Hosanna!" one day, and the next day, "Crucify him!" But it is very doubtful if the component elements of the multitude were the same. Those who cried "Hosanna!" were people who had seen Jesus do wonderful works in their... read more

3. The triumphal entry into Jerusalem . Christ ' s challenge of the authorities, and its results . On the precise order of events it is difficult to speak with absolute decision. The main difference between the synoptists and John is in the break at Bethany of the journey from Jericho to Jerusalem, to introduce a feast, which is related afterwards by the synoptists, though not limited by them to any later chronological position. It should be observed, moreover, that the synoptic... read more

The triumphal entry into Jerusalem. On the day after the feast at Bethany, Jesus catered the city under circumstances of unusual public enthusiasm. I. CONSIDER THE PERSONS WHO ACCORDED TO HIM THIS PUBLIC MANIFESTATION OF FAVOR . "On the next day a great crowd of people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was come to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:14

And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written. The whole account of the process by which our Lord secured this ὀνάριον is described at great length by the synoptists. The foal implies that the animal had never borne another burden. The account of Matthew refers to the mother and the foal, as though they were inseparable, and together bore the sacred burden. Mr. Holman Hunt, in his picture of the 'Triumph of the Innocents,' has represented the beast bearing Mary and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:15

John, as well as Matthew, sees here a symbolical fulfillment of what had been declared by one of the latest of the prophets, as the peculiarity of the Messiah ( Zechariah 9:9 ): Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt . £ This oracle is admitted by commentators of opposite schools to refer to the Messiah. There was no need, in order to fulfill the spirit of the whole passage, that the King should come to his own literally upon the back of a beast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:16

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him. This verse shows that the disciples (of whom John was one) took part in the celebration, though they did not see at the time, nor until after the Ascension—not until they saw by faith the δόξα into which the Lord had entered—that the honor which they had done to him had corresponded strangely with the marvelous words of the old prophecy. And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:17

The multitude therefore which was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, were bearing witness. The seventeenth verse goes back to the ( ὄχλος ) multitude who are mentioned in John 11:42 ; i.e. to the friends of Mary and Martha and to other inhabitants of Bethany, as well as visitors from Jerusalem ( John 11:31 ). All these are involved in the explicit declaration, ὁ ὤν μετ αὐτοῦ . Which was with him when £ he called Lazarus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:17-19

These verses connect the enthusiasm of the multitudes with the great miracle of John 11:1-57 ., indicating a point concerning which the synoptic narrative is silent, and further they consociate the miracle and its effect upon the multitude with aggravation of the malignant feeling of the constituted authorities which leads to the capture and crucifixion of the Lord Jesus. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:18

For this cause also the ( ὁ ὄχλος ) multitude —which here seems to be the aggregate of the ( ὄχλος πολύς ) crowds made up of the Judaean and Galilaean pilgrims and "the Jews" who had believed on him— met him (see especially John 12:12 , John 12:13 )—went forth, and cut down the branches of the palm trees, and came in high jubilance to meet him— because they heard that he had wrought this sign . The resurrection of Lazarus is the motive of the triumphal procession. The... read more
