JESUS' VISITATION IN JERUSALEM
In 19.28-21.38; Jesus' entry into Jerusalem marks a major new phase in the story (see 9.51).
Read 19.28-40. In 19.28-40: The royal procession. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is recounted in all four gospels as an enactment of the royal entry of Zech 9.9. In verse 29: These towns are close to Jerusalem. In verses 31-34: "The Lord needs it" is language of military or royal requisition. In verse 37: The whole multitude of the disciples is no mere crowd, those who have seen (10.23). Their praise of God resounds with the angels, shepherds, and faithful in Israel (2.13, 20; 18.43). In verse 38; The citation of Ps 118: was anticipated in 13.35, and Luke specifically identifies "the one who comes" as the king. In verse 39: Luke is careful to emphasize that some Pharisees, not all, sought to deter Jesus (see Acts 15.5). In verse 40: This verse can be translated as the stones will shout, a prophetic warning about stones in a destruction (41-44; 21.6). Comments or Questions..
