Mat 21:8. Ὁ δὲ πλεῖστος ὄχλος, but the people, who were in great numbers.-ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, in the way) [i.e in the midst of the way or road]; not only κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν, by the side of the way; for St Luke (Luk 19:36) uses the expression ὑπεστρώννυον, they spread them under, [i.e. so that He should ride over them].-κλάδους, branches) It was customary with the Jews and other ancient nations to manifest their public joy by cutting down branches from trees.
