Compare all
35 Then they brought him to Jesus. aAnd they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.  
36 And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.
37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to arejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,  
38 saying:
a“ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
bPeace in heaven and glory in the highest!”  
39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, athe stones would immediately cry out.”

Luke 19:37

At the descent (prov th katabasei). Epexegetic of "drawing nigh." They were going by the southern slope of the Mount of Olives. As they turned down to the city, the grand view stirred the crowd to rapturous enthusiasm. This was the first sight of the city on this route which is soon obscured in the descent. The second view bursts out again (verse Luke 19:41). It was a shout of triumph from the multitude with their long pent-up enthusiasm (verse Luke 19:11), restrained no longer by the parable of the pounds.

For all the mighty works which they had seen (peri paswn eidon dunamewn). Neat Greek idiom, incorporation of the antecedent (dunamewn) into the relative clause and attraction of the case of the relative from the accusative av to the genitive wn. And note "all." The climax had come, Lazarus, Bartimaeus, and the rest.
