Luke 19:38

Context
19:38Blessed is the king 1  who comes in the name of the Lord! 2  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

Luke 19:42

Context
19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day, 3  even you, the things that make for peace! 4  But now they are hidden 5  from your eyes.

1 sn Luke adds the title king to the citation from Ps 118:26 to make clear who was meant (see Luke 18:38). The psalm was used in looking for the deliverance of the end, thus leading to the Pharisees’ reaction.

2 sn A quotation from Ps 118:26.

3 sn On this day. They had missed the time of Messiah’s coming; see v. 44.

4 tn Grk “the things toward peace.” This expression seems to mean “the things that would ‘lead to,’ ‘bring about,’ or ‘make for’ peace.”

5 sn But now they are hidden from your eyes. This becomes an oracle of doom in the classic OT sense; see Luke 13:31-35; 11:49-51; Jer 9:2; 13:7; 14:7. They are now blind and under judgment (Jer 15:5; Ps 122:6).
