And Jesus entered into Jerusalem
this public manner, riding upon an ass, with the multitude
attending hin, some going before, and others after, crying,
"Hosanna" to him:
and into the temple;
which he rode up directly to; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic,
and Ethiopic versions, leave out the copulative "and"; his great
concern being there; and having dismounted, and dismissed the
colt, and sent it by proper persons to the owner of it, he went
into the temple, into the court of the Gentiles; where he found
and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of
them that sold doves, and healed the lame and the blind:
and when he had looked round about upon all
things;
that is, in the temple, as the Lord and proprietor of it; and
made a thorough visitation of it, and search into it, and
corrected what was amiss in it:
and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany
with the
twelve;
having spent great part of the day in reforming abuses in the
temple, in healing diseases, and disputing with the chief priests
and Scribes: the evening being come, he did not think fit, for
some reasons, to stay in the city; but went out to Bethany, which
was near two miles off, and lodged there; (See Gill on
Matthew
21:17).
