Luke 19:36 Meaning and 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 ) ( Mark 11:8 ) 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).
