Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 19:37-48

Luke A NEW KIND OF KING Luk_19:37 - Luk_19:48 . ‘He went on before.’ What concentrated determination, and almost eagerness, impelled His firm and swift steps up the steep, weary road! Mark tells that the disciples followed, ‘amazed’-as they well might be-at the unusual haste, and strange preoccupation on the face, set as a flint. Luke takes no notice of the stay at Bethany and the sweet seclusion which soothed Jesus there. He dwells only on the assertion of royalty, which stamped an... read more

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

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 19:47

‘And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him,’ Every day Jesus returned to the Temple to preach (and to heal ‘the blind and the lame’- Matthew 21:14). Meanwhile all the leading authorities were banded together, differences forgotten, in order to find a way of destroying Him, the chief priests because He had affected their profits and their reputations, the Scribes because he had shown up their teaching... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:47-48

Jesus Preaches In The Temple (19:47-21:38). Having driven the traders out of the Temple in His prophetic zeal Jesus then revealed the greatness of His great courage by returning daily to that same Temple in order to teach the people. As the traders, who would quickly have returned, watched with baleful eyes, and the Temple police stood by alert for trouble, Jesus boldly entered the Temple again, and ignoring both, proceeded to address the crowds gathered there. Indeed the great crowds that... read more

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

This our Saviour’s preaching daily must be understood of a very few days, for it appeareth from John 12:1, that he came to Bethany but six days before the passover; now upon the passover day he died; but for the intermediate time, it is plain from the other evangelists that he was wont to spend the day time at Jerusalem in the temple, and at night to return to Bethany. The chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, only they stood in a little awe of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 19:1-48

Now Jesus has entered into Jericho ( Luke 19:1 ).And as He is passing through the city,Behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans ( Luke 19:2 ),The city of Jericho was an oasis. It was a resort town; it was the Palm Springs, except even more lush. The winters can get quite cold in Jerusalem. They get even an occasional snow. But down in Jericho in the wintertime the weather is just really perfect. The days are usually clear. You get less than two inches of... read more
