Luke 19:35-39

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 19:28-40

We have here the same account of Christ's riding in some sort of triumph (such as it was) into Jerusalem which we had before in Matthew and Mark; let us therefore here only observe, I. Jesus Christ was forward and willing to suffer and die for us. He went forward, bound in the spirit, to Jerusalem, knowing very well the things that should befal him there, and yet he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem, Luke 19:28. He was the foremost of the company, as if he longed to be upon the spot,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 19:28-40

19:28-40 When Jesus had said these things, he went on ahead on the way up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, which is near the mount called the Mount of Olives, he despatched two of his disciples. "Go to the village opposite," he said. "As you come into it, you will find tethered a colt upon which no man has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, 'Why are you loosing this colt?' you will say, 'The Lord needs it.'" Those who had been despatched... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:35

And they brought him to Jesus ,.... That is, the colt: and they cast their garments upon the colt ; that is, the disciples, who brought him to Jesus; the Persic version here, as in Matthew 21:7 renders it very wrongly, "Jesus put his own garment on its back, and sat on it"; it follows, and they set Jesus thereon ; in order to ride upon him, as he did to Jerusalem. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:36

And as he went ,.... Riding on the colt towards Jerusalem: they spread their clothes in the way ; not the disciples, for they had put their garments upon the colt; but the multitude, which either came with him from Jericho, and other parts, or that met him from Jerusalem, or both; see Matthew 21:8 and so the Persic version here; "men put off their clothes and cast them in the way, that he might pass over then"; See Gill on Matthew 21:8 . read more

And when he was come nigh ,.... To the city of Jerusalem, and which was then in sight, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives ; being come to the foot of that mount, which lay to the east of Jerusalem, and was about five furlongs from it, or a little more than half a mile F15 Joseph.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 19:38

Saying, blessed be the King ,.... The King Messiah, the King of Israel, the son of David, the Christ of God; so the Ethiopic version adds, "blessed be the King of Israel"; they sung their "Hosannas" to him, as the other evangelists say: that cometh in the name of the Lord ; See Gill on Matthew 21:9 . peace in heaven ; all heavenly peace and prosperity attend him; or let peace be made with God in heaven, by the Prince of Peace on earth, for sinful men: and glory in the highest ;... read more

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude ,.... Who had placed themselves there, to watch and observe what was said, and done, that they might have something to reproach Christ with, expose him for, or bring as a charge against him: said unto him, master, rebuke thy disciples : not being able to bear such high encomiums of Jesus, and such open and public declarations of his being the Messiah; and would insinuate, that it was blasphemy in them to say what they did, and pride and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:28-38

Christ's royalty. Something like a royal procession is here described. On the foal of an ass, on which it comported as well with Oriental ideas of honour as with Christian ideas of peace that he should ride, the "King came, meek," but not without attention and acclaim, into Jerusalem. A large company of the curious, the devout, and even the enthusiastic, welcomed him as "the King that came in the Name of the Lord." At last, thought his disciples, his hour is come; at last their... read more
