Luke 19:37

As he approached the road leading down from ¹  the Mount of Olives, ²  the whole crowd of his ³  disciples began to rejoice ⁴  and praise ⁵  God with a loud voice for all the mighty works ⁶  they had seen: ⁷ 

Ex 15:1-18; Jud 5:1-31; 2Sa 6:2-6; 1Ki 8:55,56; 1Ch 15:28; 1Ch 16:4-7; 2Ch 29:28-30,36; Ezr 3:10-13; Ps 106:12,13; Mr 13:3; Mr 14:26; Lu 7:16; Lu 19:20; Joh 12:12,13

¹ tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

² sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

³ tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

⁴ tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

⁵ sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

⁶ tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

⁷ tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
