Robertson: Joh 12:15 - -- Daughter of Zion ( thugatēr Siōn ). Nominative form (instead of thugater ) but vocative case. The quotation is from Zec 9:9 shortened.

Daughter of Zion ( thugatēr Siōn ).

Nominative form (instead of thugater ) but vocative case. The quotation is from Zec 9:9 shortened.

Robertson: Joh 12:15 - -- Thy King cometh ( ho basileus erchetai ). Prophetic futuristic present. The ass was the animal ridden in peace as the horse was in war (Jdg 10:4; Jdg...

Thy King cometh ( ho basileus erchetai ).

Prophetic futuristic present. The ass was the animal ridden in peace as the horse was in war (Jdg 10:4; Jdg 12:14; 2Sa 17:23; 2Sa 19:26). Zechariah pictures one coming in peace. So the people here regarded Jesus as the Prince of Peace in the triumphal entry.

Robertson: Joh 12:15 - -- Sitting on an ass’ s colt ( kathēmenos epi pōlon onou ). Matthew (Mat 21:6.) does speak of both the ass and the colt having garments put on ...

Sitting on an ass’ s colt ( kathēmenos epi pōlon onou ).

Matthew (Mat 21:6.) does speak of both the ass and the colt having garments put on them, but he does not say that Jesus "sat upon"both animals at once, for epanō autōn (upon them) probably refers to the garments, not to the colts. When John wrote (end of the century), Jerusalem had fallen. Jesus will lament over Jerusalem (Luk 19:41.). So "Fear not"(mē phobou ).

Wesley: Joh 12:15 - -- For his meekness forbids fear, as well as the end of his coming. Zec 9:9.

For his meekness forbids fear, as well as the end of his coming. Zec 9:9.

TSK: Joh 12:15 - -- Fear : Isa 35:4, Isa 35:5, Isa 40:9, Isa 40:10, Isa 41:14, Isa 62:11; Mic 4:8; Zep 3:16, Zep 3:17; Zec 2:9-11; Mat 2:2-6 sitting : Deu 17:16; Jdg 5:10...

See this passage explained in the notes at Mat. 21:1-16. Also Mar 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44.

Joh 12:16

Was glorified - Was raised from the dead, and had ascended to heaven.

Joh 12:17

Bare record - Testified that he had raised him, and, as was natural, spread the report through the city. This excited much attention, and the people came out in multitudes to meet one who had power to work such miracles.

Joh 12:19

Prevail nothing - All your efforts are ineffectual to stop the progress of his opinions, and to prevent the people from believing on him.

The world - As we should say, "Everybody - all the city has gone out."The fact that he met with such success induced them to hasten their design of putting him to death, Joh 11:53.

Poole: Joh 12:12-15 - -- Ver. 12-15. This whole history is much more largely reported by the other evangelists; See Poole on "Mat 21:1" , and following verses to Mat 21:16 ....
