Lukas 19:38

19:38 “Blessed is the king ²  who comes in the name of the Lord! ³  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

[8:40]  ¹ tn This is a temporal infinitival clause in contrast to Mark’s genitive absolute (Mark 5:21).

[8:40]  sn Here the author notes that Jesus returned to the western shore of the Sea of Galilee after his brief excursion into Gentile territory (8:26-39; cf. also Mark 5:21).

[19:38]  ² sn Luke adds the title king to the citation from Ps 118:26 to make clear who was meant (see Luke 18:38). The psalm was used in looking for the deliverance of the end, thus leading to the Pharisees’ reaction.

[19:38]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 118:26.
