Luke 19:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:38

Saying, blessed be the King
The King Messiah, the King of Israel, the son of David, the Christ of God; so the Ethiopic version adds, "blessed be the King of Israel"; they sung their "Hosannas" to him, as the other evangelists say:

that cometh in the name of the Lord; (See Gill on Matthew 21:9)

peace in heaven;
all heavenly peace and prosperity attend him; or let peace be made with God in heaven, by the Prince of Peace on earth, for sinful men:

and glory in the highest;
glory be given to God for peace, life, and salvation by his son; and that in the highest heavens, by the angels there, as well as by men on earth, and in the highest notes and strains.

Luke 19:38 In-Context

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!"

39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

40 And he answered [and] said, "I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!"
