Mark 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:8

And many spread their garments in the way
Instead of carpets to ride on, and in honour to him as a king:

and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the
way;
in token of joy, as at the feast of tabernacles; (See Gill on Matthew 21:8).

Mark 11:8 In-Context

6 But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

7 So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.

8 Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;

9 while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting "God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
