Berean Study Bible

And as He approached
This phrase marks a significant moment in the narrative, as Jesus is nearing a pivotal point in His journey. The Greek word for "approached" is "ἐγγίζω" (engizō), which conveys the idea of drawing near or coming close. This is not just a physical approach but also a spiritual and prophetic one, as Jesus is nearing the fulfillment of His mission in Jerusalem. The anticipation of this moment is palpable, as it signifies the nearing of the culmination of His earthly ministry.

the descent of the Mount of Olives
The Mount of Olives holds deep historical and prophetic significance in the Bible. It is a place associated with the presence of God and eschatological events. The "descent" indicates Jesus' movement from a place of elevation, both physically and symbolically, as He moves towards Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives is also the location from which Jesus would later ascend into heaven (Acts 1:9-12), making this descent a foreshadowing of His ultimate sacrifice and victory.

the whole multitude of disciples
This phrase emphasizes the collective response of those who followed Jesus. The Greek word for "multitude" is "πλῆθος" (plēthos), indicating a large number of people. These are not just the twelve apostles but a broader group of followers who have witnessed His teachings and miracles. Their unity in this moment reflects the communal nature of faith and the shared recognition of Jesus' divine authority.

began to praise God joyfully
The act of praising God is central to the life of a believer. The Greek word for "praise" is "αἰνέω" (aineō), which means to extol or glorify. The adverb "joyfully" underscores the exuberance and heartfelt nature of their worship. This joyful praise is a response to the recognition of God's work through Jesus, highlighting the appropriate response to witnessing divine intervention and grace.

in a loud voice
The expression "in a loud voice" signifies the boldness and public nature of their praise. The Greek word "φωνῇ μεγάλῃ" (phōnē megalē) suggests not only volume but also intensity and passion. This public declaration of faith serves as a witness to others and reflects the disciples' unashamed proclamation of Jesus as the Messiah.

for all the miracles they had seen
The miracles performed by Jesus are tangible demonstrations of His divine authority and compassion. The Greek word for "miracles" is "δυνάμεις" (dynameis), which can also be translated as "mighty works" or "powers." These acts are signs pointing to the kingdom of God and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. The disciples' praise is rooted in their firsthand experiences of these miraculous events, which confirm Jesus' identity and mission. This acknowledgment of His works serves as a testament to His divine nature and the transformative power of faith.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(37) The descent of the mount of Olives.--The Greek word for "descent" is not used by any other New Testament writer. As being a technical geographical word, it was one that might naturally be used by one who may have been a pupil of Strabo, or a student of his works. (See Introduction.)

To praise God.--The Greek verb is another instance of a word used by St. Luke (seven times) and St. Paul (twice), and by them only in the New Testament.

All the mighty works . . .--Literally, powers, and so works of power. The words probably refer to the recent miracle at Jericho (Luke 18:35-43; Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52), and, as interpreted by St. John's Gospel, the recent raising of Lazarus.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 37. - At the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen. At this point on the Bethany road the city of Jerusalem comes into view. Here a crowd of pilgrims to the Passover Feast, many of whom were well acquainted with Jesus, came out to meet and welcome him with their branches of palm. These joined his friends who accompanied him from Bethany. This enthusiasm was excited among the Passover pilgrims in great measure owing to the report which by this time had got abroad of the raising of Lazarus (see John 12:17, 18). Many had already gone out from the city to Bethany to see Jesus and Lazarus. Of the Messianic shouts of welcome which sounded in the crowd, St. Luke does not mention the "Hosanna!" of St. Matthew, no doubt because this peculiar Hebrew cry would not have conveyed any meaning to the Gentile readers to whom his story was especially addressed. The two incidents which follow - the crying out of the stones, and the weeping of the Master over his beautiful doomed city (vers. 39-44) - occur only in St. Luke. His source of information here was evidently quite different to the other two synoptists or St. John.
