Luke 19:42

at least in this, etc.—even at this moving moment. (See on Luke 13:9.)

thy peace—thinking perhaps of the name of the city. (Hebrews 7:2) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON]. How much is included in this word!

now . . . hid—It was His among His last open efforts to "gather them," but their eyes were judicially closed.



Luke 19:41-44

when beheld . . . wept—Compare Lamentations 3:51, "Mine eye affecteth mine heart"; the heart again affecting the eye. Under this sympathetic law of the relation of mind and body, Jesus, in His beautiful, tender humanity, was constituted even as we. What a contrast to the immediately preceding profound joy! He yielded Himself alike freely to both. (See on Matthew 23:37.)
