1. Of Zacchaeus a tax collector.
11. The ten minas.
28. Jesus rides into Jerusalem with triumph;

As He rode along
This phrase marks the beginning of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, a significant event in the Christian narrative. The Greek word for "rode" is "ἐπορεύετο" (eporeueto), which implies a purposeful journey. This was not a casual ride; it was a fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) and a deliberate act by Jesus to present Himself as the Messiah. Historically, this journey was during the time of Passover, a period when Jerusalem was filled with pilgrims, adding to the significance and visibility of His entry.

the people
The term "people" here is translated from the Greek "ὄχλος" (ochlos), which refers to a crowd or multitude. This crowd was likely composed of those who had followed Jesus from Galilee, as well as residents of Jerusalem who had heard of His miracles, particularly the recent raising of Lazarus from the dead. The presence of such a crowd indicates the widespread anticipation and hope that Jesus was the promised deliverer.

spread their cloaks
The act of spreading cloaks on the road is a gesture of honor and submission, akin to rolling out a red carpet today. In the cultural and historical context, this act was a sign of respect and recognition of royalty or a person of high status. The Greek word "ὑποστρώννυμι" (hypostronnymi) suggests a deliberate and reverent action. This act by the people signifies their acknowledgment of Jesus as King, fulfilling the messianic expectations of a coming ruler who would liberate them.

on the road
The road, or "ὁδός" (hodos) in Greek, symbolizes the path of Jesus' mission and the journey of faith. In a broader scriptural context, the road represents the way of the Lord, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. The road to Jerusalem is not just a physical path but a spiritual journey towards the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. This moment foreshadows the path Jesus would take to the cross, highlighting the sacrificial nature of His kingship.

(36) They spread their clothes in the way.--Better, garments, the word being the same as in the preceding verse, and in both cases meaning the outer garment or cloak. (See Note on Matthew 5:40.) St. Luke, it may be noticed, does not mention the "branches of trees" of which St. Matthew and St. Mark speak. The verb implies the constantly repeated act of casting down the garments as the Lord rode on.

Verse 36. - And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. A common act of homage to a king or royal personage. So in the case of Jehu, the officers of the army offered him this tribute (2 Kings 9:13). So Agamemnon walked on costly carpets and tapestry when he entered his palace at Mycenae. Clytemnestra, in the' Agamemnon' of AEschylus, says -

"But, my loved lord, Leave now that car; nor on the bare ground set
That royal foot, beneath whose mighty tread
Troy trembled. Haste, ye virgins, to whose care
This pleasing office is entrusted, spread
The streets with tapestry; let the ground be covered
With richest purple, leading to the palace,
That honour with just state may grace his carry."


(905-911)
