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).

Luke 19:36 In-Context

34 So they said, 'The Lord has need of it.'

35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they put Jesus [on it].

36 And [as] he was going along, they were spreading out their cloaks on the road.

37 Now [as] he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,

38 saying, "Blessed [is] the king, the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
