Luke 19:38

ὁ ἐρχόμενος βασιλεύς, AL. ὁ βασιλεύς, א. ὁ ἐρχόμενος, D. ἐρχόμενος, ὁ βασιλεύς, B.

38. εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος. The various cries recorded by the three Evangelists all come from the Great Hallel (Psalms 113-118). St John alone (Luke 12:17 reading ὅτι) points out that the Messianic enthusiasm had been mainly kindled by the raising of Lazarus. St Luke omits Hosanna, which would have been unintelligible to his Greek readers.

ἐν ὑψίστοις. Sub. τόποις as in Luke 2:14. Comp. ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις, Ephesians 1:3.
