Greek Commentary for Luke 19:37
Epexegetic of “drawing nigh.” They were going by the southern slope of the Mount of Olives. As they turned down to the city, the grand view stirred the crowd to rapturous enthusiasm. This was the first sight of the city on this route which is soon obscured in the descent. The second view bursts out again (Luke 19:41). It was a shout of triumph from the multitude with their long pent-up enthusiasm (Luke 19:11), restrained no longer by the parable of the pounds. [source]
Neat Greek idiom, incorporation of the antecedent (δυναμεων dunameōn) into the relative clause and attraction of the case of the relative from the accusative ας has to the genitive ων hōn And note “all.” The climax had come, Lazarus, Bartimaeus, and the rest. [source]
Two distinct sights of Jerusalem are caught on this route, an inequality of ground hiding it for a time after one has first seen it. Luke 19:37 marks the first sight, Luke 19:41 the second and nearer view (see Introduction, on Luke's topographical accuracy). “A t this point (the former) the first view is caught of the southeastern corner of the city. The temple and the more northern portions are hid by the slope of Olivet on the right: what is seen is only Mount Zion, now, for the most part, a rough field, crowned with the mosque of David, and the angle of the western walls, but then covered with houses to its base, and surmounted by the castle of Herod, on the supposed site of the palace of David … .It was at this point that the shout of triumph burst forth from the multitude” (Stanley, “Sinai and Palestine”).
