| princes . . . all the people--The fickle people, as they were previously influenced by the priests to clamor for his death (Jer 26:8), so now under the princes' influence require that he shall not be put to death. Compare as to Jesus, Jeremiah's antitype, the hosannas of the multitude a few days before the same people, persuaded by the priests as in this case, cried, Away with Him, crucify Him (Mat 21:1-11; Mat 27:20-25). The priests, through envy of his holy zeal, were more his enemies than the princes, whose office was more secular than religious. A prophet could not legally be put to death unless he prophesied in the name of other gods (therefore, they say, "in the name of the Lord"), or after his prophecy had failed in its accomplishment. Meanwhile, if he foretold calamity, he might be imprisoned. Compare Micaiah's case (1Ki. 22:1-28). |

20 But [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] persuaded [3982] the multitude [3793] that [2443] they should ask [154] Barabbas [912], and [1161] destroy [622] Jesus [2424].
21 The governor [2232] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Whether [5101] of [575] the twain [1417] will ye [2309] that I release [630] unto you [5213]? [1161] They said [2036], Barabbas [912].
22 Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] shall I do [4160] then [3767] with Jesus [2424] which [3588] is called [3004] Christ [5547]? They all [3956] say [3004] unto him [846], Let him be crucified [4717].
23 And [1161] the governor [2232] said [5346], Why [1063], what [5101] evil [2556] hath he done [4160]? But [1161] they cried out [2896] the more [4057], saying [3004], Let him be crucified [4717].
24 When [1161] Pilate [4091] saw [1492] that [3754] he could prevail [5623] nothing [3762], but [235] that rather [3123] a tumult [2351] was made [1096], he took [2983] water [5204], and washed [633] his hands [5495] before [561] the multitude [3793], saying [3004], I am [1510] innocent [121] of [575] the blood [129] of this [5127] just person [1342]: see [3700] ye [5210] to it.
25 Then [2532] answered [611] all [3956] the people [2992], and said [2036], His [846] blood [129] be on [1909] us [2248], and [2532] on [1909] our [2257] children [5043].
1 And [2532] when [3753] they drew nigh [1448] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] were come [2064] to [1519] Bethphage [967], unto [4314] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], then [5119] sent [649] Jesus [2424] two [1417] disciples [3101],
2 Saying [3004] unto them [846], Go [4198] into [1519] the village [2968] over against [561] you [5216], and [2532] straightway [2112] ye shall find [2147] an ass [3688] tied [1210], and [2532] a colt [4454] with [3326] her [846]: loose [3089] them, and bring [71] them unto me [3427].
3 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] say [2036] ought [5100] unto you [5213], ye shall say [2046], [3754] The Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of them [846]; and [1161] straightway [2112] he will send [649] them [846].
4 All [1161] [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004],
5 Tell ye [2036] the daughter [2364] of Sion [4622], Behold [2400], thy [4675] King [935] cometh [2064] unto thee [4671], meek [4239], and [2532] sitting [1910] upon [1909] an ass [3688], and [2532] a colt [4454] the foal [5207] of an ass [5268].
6 And [1161] the disciples [3101] went [4198], and [2532] did [4160] as [2531] Jesus [2424] commanded [4367] them [846],
7 And brought [71] the ass [3688], and [2532] the colt [4454], and [2532] put [2007] on [1883] them [846] their [846] clothes [2440], and [2532] they set [1940] [1940] him thereon [1883] [846].
8 And [1161] a very great [4118] multitude [3793] spread [4766] their [1438] garments [2440] in [1722] the way [3598]; others [1161] [243] cut down [2875] branches [2798] from [575] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1722] the way [3598].
9 And [1161] the multitudes [3793] that went before [4254], and [2532] that followed [190], cried [2896], saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]: Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]; Hosanna [5614] in [1722] the highest [5310].
10 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], all [3956] the city [4172] was moved [4579], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778]?
11 And [1161] the multitude [3793] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] Jesus [2424] the prophet [4396] of [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056].
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all that the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] him to speak [01696] unto all the people [05971], that the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] took [08610] him, saying [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
