Luke 19:38 Meaning and 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;
glory be given to God for peace, life, and salvation by his son; and that in the highest heavens, by the angels there, as well as by men on earth, and in the highest notes and strains.

Luke 19:38 In-Context

36 As he was riding along, people spread their coats on the road.

37 By this time he was coming near the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives. Then the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God for all the miracles they had seen.

38 They shouted joyfully, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven."

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell your disciples to be quiet."

40 Jesus replied, "I can guarantee that if they are quiet, the stones will cry out."
