NOTES for Luk 19:29-40
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, |
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. |
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. |
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. |
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? |
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. |
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. |
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. |
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; |
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. |
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. |
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. |

The Mount of Olives is the beginning of Christ's glorification. It is His Entry into Jerusalem, the entry of the King. And He returns to the same mountain after He has eaten the Passover with the disciples. And again from the Mount of Olives begins Christ's glorification, now as Savior of the World.
And at the Passover meal Christ explains to the apostles what He Himself had been doing and what is being accomplished. He is the One who serves, and beside Him were people whose hearts had already changed. People to whom He promises a meal in the Kingdom of Heaven. And to whom, as witnesses of His deeds, He bequeaths the Communion of His Body and Blood. Communion in His death and imminent Resurrection. Communion in the glory of Christ, through which all Christians have been strengthened and saved from those days onward.
