John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 12:16
These things understood not his disciples at the first ,.... Or "at that time", as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; or "on that day", as the Ethiopic version; they did not then know the sense of that prophecy, nor that the things which were now doing were a fulfilling of it: but when Jesus was glorified ; was raised front the dead, and ascended to heaven, and was set down at the right hand of God, crowned with glory and honour; and when having received the promise of the Father,... read more

Consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death - As long as he lived they saw an incontestable proof of the Divine power of Christ; therefore they wished to put him to death, because many of the Jews, who came to see him through curiosity, became converts to Christ through his testimony. How blind were these men not to perceive that he who had raised him, after he had been dead four days, could raise him again though they had slain him a thousand times? read more

Then remembered they, etc. - After the ascension of Christ, the disciples saw the meaning of many prophecies which referred to Christ, and applied them to him, which they had not fully comprehended before. Indeed it is only in the light of the new covenant, that the old is to be fully understood. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:9
Verse 9 9.Then a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was there. The more nearly the time of the death of Christ approached, it became the more necessary that his name should be universally celebrated, in order that it might be a preparation for stronger faith after his death. More especially, the Evangelist relates that the recent miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus had acquired great celebrity: and as Christ showed in it a remarkable proof of his Divinity, God intended that it should... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:10
Verse 10 10.Now the chief priests consulted. It certainly was worse than insane fury to endeavor to put to death one who had manifestly been raised from the dead by divine power. But such is the spirit of giddiness with which Satan torments the wicked, so that there is no end of their madness, even though God should bring heaven, and earth, and sea, to oppose them. For this wicked consultation is thus described, for the purpose of informing us that the enemies of Christ were led to so great... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 12:14
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass ,.... Which he sent his disciples for, to a neighbouring village, and they brought to him: sat thereon, as it is written ; in Zechariah 9:9 though some part of the words seems to be taken out of Isaiah 62:11 ; See Gill on Matthew 21:5 ; and so Nonnus paraphrases it here, "that it might be fulfilled which Esaias said". read more
