F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 19:41-48

the Doom of the Royal City Luke 19:41-48 Our Lord loved the city of His race; and when it finally rejected His appeals, He knew that nothing could avert its downfall. Hence His tears! Each nation, city and individual has one day which is the crisis of existence. We cross the equator without knowing it. There is one hour in each God-forsaken life when, as in the Temple before its fall, watchers hear the words, “Let us depart,” and there is the rustle of wings! Notice that God visits us in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 19:1-48

Zacchaeus was the last convert but one in the ministry of Jesus. Our Lord's method with him is very revealing. He asked for his hospitality, and after receiving it held an unrecorded conversation with him which resulted in the complete revolution of the man's outlook and his activity. It was in this connection that our Lord uttered that supreme word of His ministry, "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." In close connection He uttered the parable of the pounds.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 19:28-46

The Magnificat to the King Luke 19:28-46 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Step by step Christ moved on fulfilling prophecy. The whole life of the Lord Jesus Christ, from the cradle to the ascension, was a marvelous fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. He was born as the Prophets wrote of Him; born of a virgin; born in Bethlehem; born a Child, given a Son; born of the lineage of David; His Name was called Immanuel. He was brought up as the Prophets wrote of Him. An alien to His mother's children;... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:45-46

CLEANSING THE TEMPLE‘And He went into the Temple … den of thieves.’ Luke 19:45-1 Corinthians : Our Lord twice had to cleanse the Temple. The profane practice grew up gradually until He put it down in His authoritative way. What is its counterpart now? I. The encroaching spirit of worldliness.—God is practically dethroned. Think of the Sunday trading, Sunday travelling, Sunday excursions, in simple disregard of the day. II. The growth of irreligion gives birth to all new forms of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:29-48

Jesus Rides Into Jerusalem, And Reveals Himself As God’s Only Son, Which Finally Results in His Description of His Triumphant Return (19:29-21:38). The Section may be analysed as follows: a After initial preparations Jesus rides into Jerusalem in triumph on a colt revealing Himself as the Messianic King. If the people had not welcomed Him the very stones would have cried out (Luke 19:29-40). b Jesus weeps over a Jerusalem which will be desolated, thus revealing Himself as the Messianic... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:39-46

The Response of The Pharisees: God’s Coming Judgment on Jerusalem (19:39-46). It was not to be expected that this hearty welcome of Jesus would please the Pharisees. Perhaps they were afraid of the reaction of Rome, or possibly they felt that it was coming near to blasphemy. But either way they wanted the enthusiasm stilled. There is possibly a hint in this of, ‘Now look what you have done by entering Jerusalem in this spectacular way.’ Jesus’ reply is significant. It stresses to them that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:45

‘And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold,’ And He entered the Temple, and looking around at what was happening there in the Court of the Gentiles, He was angry. And so He began to cast out those who sold (He began and continued), emptying it of the noisy traders so that it was possible for those present to pray in comparative peace. Compare here Malachi 3:1. The Lord had come to His Temple. He was not weeping now. This was the next day (Mark 11:12), but Luke ignores... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:45-48

Luke 19:45-Galatians : . The Cleansing of the Temple ( Mark 11:15-Psalms : *, Matthew 21:12 f.*).— Lk. abbreviates; only the sellers are ejected. Jesus teaches daily in the Temple, a statement repeated at Luke 20:1 and Luke 21:37. Luke 19:48 points to the popularity of Jesus in Jerusalem, cf. Luke 21:38, Luke 23:27; Luke 23:48. read more
