This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

10. From two passages of Josephus (B. J. II. 14. 3 and VI. 9. 3) it appears that 2,900,000, or even a greater number, were present at the passover, numbers encamping in the vicinity of the holy city. We may picture the narrow streets of Jerusalem thronged with eager inquisitive crowds demanding, with Oriental vivacity, in many tongues and dialects, ‘Who is this?’

ἐσείσθη, was ‘convulsed’ or ‘stirred’ as by an earthquake, or by a violent wind.

(Monday, Nisan 10.)

The events of this day extend to Mat 21:23 of this Chapter.
