Luca 19:28

28 ORA, avendo dette queste cose, egli andava innanzi, salendo in Gerusalemme.

Luca 19:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:28

And when he had thus spoken
When he had delivered the above parable, in order to remove the prejudices of his disciples, and the multitude, concerning a temporal kingdom, and to give them true notions of his own kingdom, and the case of the Jewish nation:

he went before;
his disciples: he was the foremost of them in the journey; he proceeded at the head of them, with great cheerfulness and eagerness:

ascending up to Jerusalem;
through the lower lands of Judea, to the city of Jerusalem, which was built on higher ground; where he was to eat his last passover, and suffer, and die, in the room, and stead, of his people; and this shows how willing, and greatly desirous he was to finish the work of redemption he came about.

Luca 19:28 In-Context

26 Perciocchè io vi dico, che a chiunque ha sarà dato; ma, a chi non ha, eziandio quel ch’egli ha gli sarà tolto.

27 Oltre a ciò, menate qua que’ miei nemici, che non hanno voluto che io regnassi sopra loro, e scannateli in mia presenza.

28 ORA, avendo dette queste cose, egli andava innanzi, salendo in Gerusalemme.

29 E come egli fu vicin di Betfage, e di Betania, presso al monte detto degli Ulivi, mandò due de’ suoi discepoli, dicendo:

30 Andate nel castello, che è qui di rincontro; nel quale essendo entrati, troverete un puledro d’asino legato, sopra il quale niun uomo giammai montò; scioglietelo, e menatemelo.
