Commentary on Luke 19:37
Theological / DevotionalCome nigh. That is, to the descent toward Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives.

Ps. 122 was a favorite for the use of pilgrims as the towers of the city of Jerusalem came into view, and its words were appropriate indeed: “Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem” (Ps. 122:2, 7; see DA 76). This occasion, when those who accompanied Jesus thought He was soon to be crowned king of Israel, was no doubt marked by unprecedented rejoicing.
