Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 19:28-44

FINAL TEACHING IN JERUSALEM119. The triumphal entry (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-19)The time had now come for Jesus to challenge his opponents openly by a clear public demonstration that he was Israel’s Messiah. The Jewish leaders wanted to arrest him, but when told of his whereabouts they feared to take action. They were unsure of the extent of Jesus’ popular support (cf. John 11:57; John 12:9-11).To make sure that nothing stopped him from making a bold public... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 19:28

And when he had thus spoken, he went on before going up to Jerusalem.The verses of Luke 19:28-44, beginning here, "form a transition from Luke's central section (Luke 9:51-19:27) to the final events in Jerusalem."[42] Jesus will enter Jerusalem as King of Israel, knowing already that he would be rejected and crucified; and yet he would do so in such a manner that all ages would see and understand perfectly his purpose and intention. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:28

Luke 19:28. When he had thus spoken, he went before,— Or, He went forward. Having finished the parable, our Lord left the house of Zaccheus, and proceeded onward to Jerusalem, shewing by his alacrity in the journey, how willing he was to undergo those heavy sufferings, which he knew were to befal him at Jerusalem. See on Mark 10:32. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:28-40

A. The Triumphal Entry 19:28-40 (cf. Matthew 21:1-9; Mark 11:1-10; John 12:12-19)Luke did not record Jesus’ actual entrance into the city of Jerusalem. He stressed Jesus’ approach to Jerusalem and His lamentation over it (Luke 19:41-44). This presentation has the effect of eliminating the triumphant spirit of Jesus’ coming and replacing it with sadness over Jesus’ rejection.Until now, Jesus typically discouraged people from proclaiming that He was the Messiah. Now He not only allowed people to... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:28

(28) He went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.—Better, going up, as elsewhere throughout the New Testament. The words indicate the same mode of journeying as that which we have traced before—the Master going on in advance, and the disciples following. (See Notes on Luke 8:1; Mark 10:32.)The journey from Jericho to Jerusalem was literally an ascent all the way (see Note on Luke 10:30), and in this sense, as well as following the language common to most nations, in speaking of their capitals,... read more
