Luke
Chapter
19 (Continued)
19:28``Then
after speaking this, He {Jesus} went on forth . . .
going
up to Jerusalem.
19:29-30``And
it came to pass {change of subject}
when
he approached near Bethphage and Bethany . . .
face
to face with the mount called Olives {Mount of Olives},
He
sent on a mission under His authority {apostello}
two
of his students/disciples, 19:30`` saying,
"Depart
{an order} into the village opposite {katenanti} . . .
in
which at your entering,
you
will discover a horse's colt {polos} tied there
{polos - usually a horse's colt but could be an ass's colt},
which
no one has ever ridden.
Untying
him . . . and bring it here {an order}.
19:31``And
if {ean} anyone interrogates {erotao} you
-
maybe they will, maybe they will not -
'Why
do you untie it?'
you
should say this: 'The Lord has need of it.'"
19:32``So
'those having been sent on the mission
under
His authority' {apostello},
going
on their way,
discovered
it exactly as He had told them.
19:33``Now,
as they were untying the colt,
its
owners/lords asked face to face with them,
"Why
do you untie that colt?"
19:34``So
they said, "The Lord has and holds need of it."
19:35``And,
they brought it face to face with Jesus,
and
throwing/casting their cloaks on the colt,
Jesus
mounted thereon.
19:36``Now
as He was riding along,
they
kept on spreading their cloaks on the way/road.
19:37-38``And,
as He approached face to face with
the
road leading down from the Mount of Olives,
a
whole multitude/crowd of His students/disciples
began
to rejoicing and praising God with a loud voice . . .
for
all the 'mighty works'/powers {dunamis}
they
had been seeing, 19:38`` saying,
"Eulogized
in the past with results
that
last forever {eulogeo - perfect tense} . . .
the
King, having come in the name of the Lord!
Peace/'Inner
happiness' {eirene} . . . in heaven
and
glory in/among/with the Highest/'Most High' {hupsistos}!"
19:39``And
certain ones of the Pharisees in the crowd
said
face to face with Him, "Teacher
{didaskalos - recognizes His skill as a teacher, but not believers},
rebuke
Your students/disciples {an order}."
19:40``
He 'had an answer for'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} . . .
saying
to them, "I tell you,
if
{ean} these keep silent
-maybe
they will, maybe they will not -
the
very stones would cry out."
19:41-42``And,
when He {Jesus} approached
perceiving
the city {Jerusalem},
He
wept over it, 19:42`` saying,
"If
{ei} - and it is true -
you
had 'known from study or experience' {ginosko}
in
this day, even you . . .
the
things that make for peace/'inner happiness {eirene} . . .
but
now they are hidden from your eyes
{they are part of the Church Age Mystery doctrine not yet
revealed}.
19:43``
"The days will come upon you
and
your enemies will build an embankment against you {Jerusalem}
and
surround you
and
close in on you from every side.
19:44``They
will 'demolish you {Jerusalem}'/
'raze
your city to the ground' . . .
you
{Jerusalem} and your citizens/'children' {teknon} within you . . .
and
they will absolutely not leave within you
one
stone on top of another . . .
because
you absolutely did not
'know
from experience or study' {ginosko}
the
time of your visitation {from God}."
19:45-46``And,
having gone into the temple,
He
{Jesus} began to throw out
{ekballo - like a ball - He picked them up and tosses them right out}
those
selling therein 19:46`` saying to them,
"It
was written in the past
with
results that last forever {grapho - perfect tense},
'My
house keeps on being a house
of
'set apartness for the offering of prayer' {proseuche}
but
you have made it a den of robbers/plunderers'/bandits {lestes}."
{Note:
Again we need to remember this is NOT the Church Age. In the Church
age, all believers in Christ are in Union with Him. He is our High
Priest and we are His Royal Family of Priests. A priest is one who
represents mankind before God. We represent ourselves. But at this
time, the Levitical Priesthood represented man before God. A temple
was a place set apart for the offering of communication with God.}
19:47``And
He {Jesus} kept on teaching daily in the temple courts.
{Jesus now demonstrates a second use for the temple - a place to
gather and teach and be taught the Word of God - see Isaiah
28:10 for the mechanics}
But,
the chief priests
and
the scribes/'experts in the law'
and
the prominent leaders among the people
kept
on seeking to assassinate Him . . . 19:48``
and
they absolutely could not {ouk} discover a way to do it . . .
for
all the people kept on clinging close to Him . . .
hearing
Him {concentrating on His Doctrines}.
