LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 13:35 you will not see me until you say, “Blessed... ” The quoted blessing is from Psalms 118:26. It was chanted to pilgrims entering Jerusalem on feast days. This is not an allusion to Palm Sunday (Luke 19:38) because in Matthew’s account (Matthew 23:39) the saying occurs after Palm Sunday, and so it must refer to a later event. It may be a veiled prediction that a large number of Jews will trust in Jesus before his second coming (compare Romans 11:12, Romans 11:14).
