After Jesus had said this
This phrase indicates a transition from Jesus' previous teachings or parables. The context here is crucial; Jesus had just finished the Parable of the Ten Minas, which emphasizes stewardship and accountability. The Greek word for "said" is "εἶπεν" (eipen), which is often used to denote authoritative teaching. This transition marks a shift from teaching to action, as Jesus prepares to enter Jerusalem, setting the stage for the culmination of His earthly ministry.

He went on ahead
The phrase "went on ahead" suggests intentionality and purpose. The Greek word "προάγω" (proago) implies leading or going before others. Jesus is not merely traveling; He is leading His disciples with determination. This reflects His role as the Good Shepherd, guiding His flock. Historically, this journey to Jerusalem is significant as it fulfills Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's entry into the holy city.

going up to Jerusalem
The phrase "going up" is not just a geographical reference but also a spiritual ascent. Jerusalem, situated on a hill, was the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple. The Greek "ἀναβαίνω" (anabaino) means to ascend, which can also imply a rise in spiritual significance. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is laden with prophetic fulfillment, as it is the city where He will face crucifixion and resurrection. This ascent is a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative, symbolizing Jesus' obedience to the Father's will and His mission to bring salvation to humanity. Historically, pilgrims would "go up" to Jerusalem for feasts, and Jesus' journey aligns with the Passover, underscoring His role as the Passover Lamb.

(28) He went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.--Better, going up, as elsewhere throughout the New Testament. The words indicate the same mode of journeying as that which we have traced before--the Master going on in advance, and the disciples following. (See Notes on Luke 8:1; Mark 10:32.)

The journey from Jericho to Jerusalem was literally an ascent all the way (see Note on Luke 10:30), and in this sense, as well as following the language common to most nations, in speaking of their capitals, the verb might well be used. The English word "ascend," however, is not used elsewhere in the New Testament of any earthly journeys.

Verses 28-48. - Jesus enters Jerusalem as King Messiah (vers. 29-44). His work in the temple (vers. 45-48). St. Luke here passes over in silence the events which happened after the episode at the house of Zacchaeus at Jericho and the speaking the great parable of "the pounds." This parable may have been spoken in the house of Zacchaeus before leaving Jericho, but it seems better to place it somewhere in the course of the walk from Jericho to Bethany, a distance of some twelve miles. St. John fills up the gap left in the narrative of St. Luke. The main body of pilgrims to the feast, with whom Jesus and his company were travelling, left him on the Jericho road at Bethany: they going on to their caravanserai in the holy city, he remaining for two nights with his friends at Bethany - the next evening Jesus was entertained at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper (Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9) - the feast at which Lazarus the risen sat a guest and Martha served, and to which Mary brought her precious ointment and her contrition (John 11:1-9). Jesus must have arrived at Bethany before sunset on Friday, Nisan 7, and therefore before the sabbath began. The sabbath was spent in quiet. The supper probably took place directly after the end of the sabbath. The next morning (Palm Sunday)the Lord started for Jerusalem, and entered the holy city in the triumphant way as King Messiah related by St. Luke in our Gospel.
