John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And as he went, etc.] Riding on the colt towards Jerusalem: they spread their clothes in the way; not the disciples, for they had put their garments upon the colt; but the multitude, which either came with him from Jericho, and other parts, or that met him from Jerusalem, or both; (see <402108>Matthew 21:8 <411108>Mark 11:8) and so the Persic version here; “men put off their clothes and cast them in the way, that he might pass over then”; (see Gill on “<402108>Matthew 21:8”).”
