This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 19:38. [Λέγοντες, saying) The very prophecy which the Saviour had uttered in Galilee, ch. Luk 13:35, was in this place fulfilled.-Harm., p. 445.[210]]-βασιλεὺς, King) It was a noble movement on the part of the people [although His external appearance was not kingly.-V. g.]; but yet they did not understand in its deep significance what they were saying. Comp. Luk 19:11, and Joh 12:16.-εἰρήνη ἐν οὐρανῷ, peace in heaven) See note, ch. Luk 2:14.[211]

[210] But see my note, Luk 13:35, winch shows that the full accomplishment of the prophecy must be yet future: see below Luk 19:44; Luk 19:46.-E. and T.

[211] See also note, at the latter end, on Col 1:20. Angels looked on men with displeasure, because of the sin of the latter. Jesus hath ‘reconciled’ the former to the latter by the atonement, and so there is “peace in heaven.”-E. and T.
