Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 36. - And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. A common act of homage to a king or royal personage. So in the case of Jehu, the officers of the army offered him this tribute (2 Kings 9:13). So Agamemnon walked on costly carpets and tapestry when he entered his palace at Mycenae. Clytemnestra, in the' Agamemnon' of AEschylus, says - "But, my loved lord, Leave now that car; nor on the bare ground setThat royal foot, beneath whose mighty treadTroy trembled. Haste, ye virgins, to whose careThis pleasing office is entrusted, spreadThe streets with tapestry; let the ground be coveredWith richest purple, leading to the palace,That honour with just state may grace his carry."(905-911)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(36) They spread their clothes in the way.--Better, garments, the word being the same as in the preceding verse, and in both cases meaning the outer garment or cloak. (See Note on Matthew 5:40.) St. Luke, it may be noticed, does not mention the "branches of trees" of which St. Matthew and St. Mark speak. The verb implies the constantly repeated act of casting down the garments as the Lord rode on.
