Luke 19:47

And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, AND HE TAUGHT DAILY IN THE TEMPLE. BUT THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES AND THE CHIEF OF THE PEOPLE SOUGHT, [ ezeetoun (G2212 ), OR 'KEPT SEEKING;' THAT IS, FROM DAY TO DAY], TO DESTROY HIM,...

Luke 19:47._And he taught daily in the temple. _Mark and Luke point out, _first, _what was the class of men of which the Church consisted, namely, of the despised multitude; and again, what enemies Christ had, namely, _the priests and scribes, _and all the _rulers. _Now this is a part of the folly of the cross, that God, passing by the excellence of the world, chooses what is foolish, weak, and despised. _Secondly, _they relate that those worthy guardians of the Church of God sought an occasion of putting Christ to death, by which their wicked impiety was discovered; for though there had been good grounds for pursuing Christ, yet they had no right to proceed to murder after the manner of robbers, or secretly to hire assassins. _Thirdly, _they show that the wicked conspiracy of those men was frustrated, because, by the secret purpose of God, Christ was appoint

41-48 Who can behold the holy Jesus, looking forward to the miseries that awaited his murderers, weeping over the city where his precious blood was about to be shed, without seeing that the likeness of God in the believer, consists much in good-will and compassion? Surely those cannot be right who take up any doctrines of truth, so as to be hardened towards their fellow-sinners. But let every one remember, that though Jesus wept over Jerusalem, he executed awful vengeance upon it. Though he delights not in the death of a sinner, yet he will surely bring to pass his awful threatenings on those who neglect his salvation. The Son of God did not weep vain and causeless tears, nor for a light matter, nor for himself. He knows the value of souls, the weight of guilt, and how low it will press and sink mankind. May he then come and cleanse our hearts by his Spirit, from all that defiles. May si...

Verse Luke 19:47. _AND HE TAUGHT DAILY IN THE TEMPLE._] This he did for five or six days before his crucifixion. Some suppose that it was on _Monday_ in the passion week that he thus entered into Jerusalem, and purified the temple; and on _Thursday_ he was seized late at night: during these four days he taught in the temple, and lodged each night at Bethany. Matthew 21:17....

DAILY IN THE TEMPLE - That is, for five or six days before his crucifixion....

EXPOSITION LUKE 19:1 _Jesus lodges in the house of Zacchaeus, _"_the_ _chief among the publicans_"_ at Jericho. _This episode, which took place at Jericho just before the Lord's entry into Jerusalem the last time, is peculiar to this Gospel. That the source was Hebrew (Aramaic) is clear from the wording of the narration. Some brief Hebrew (Aramaic) memoir was given to St. Luke, whence he derived his information of this most interesting and instructive incident of the last journey of the Master. LUKE 19:1, LUKE 19:2 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus

AND HE TAUGHT DAILY IN THE TEMPLE,.... Every day till the passover came, and only in the day; for at night he went out of the city to Bethany, or to the Mount of Olives: some of his discourses in the temple, the parables he delivered, and his disputations with the doctors, are recorded in Matthew 21:27: BUT THE CHIEF PRIESTS, AND THE SCRIBES, AND THE CHIEF OF THE PEOPLE; or "the elders of the people", as the Syriac version renders it; that is, the whole sanhedrim: SOUGHT TO DESTROY HIM; met and consulted together how to get him into their hands, and what charges to bring against him, in order to put him to death....

Luke 19:1. _And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house._ Remember that the Lord Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, to suffer and to die; and there he was the patient, suffering Lamb of God; but here he speaks in that commanding tone which well became the Prince of the House of David: «Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.»...

V. IN JERUSALEM -- CHAPTER 19:28-21:38 CHAPTER 19:28-48 _ 1. The Triumphal Entry in Jerusalem. (Luke 19:28 .)_ 2. Weeping over Jerusalem. (Luke 19:41 .) 3. The Purification of the Temple. (Luke 19:45 .) Luke 19:28 The triumphal entry of the Lord into Jerusalem has been before us already in Matthew and Mark. He is presented as King. Luke gives an interesting addition. The multitude of disciples rejoiced and praised God for all the mighty works they had seen. “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.” The angelic announcement was “peace on earth”;

THE CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE (Mark 11:15 *, 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....
