Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 19:40

40 And he answered, and said unto them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

How Peevish were these wretched Pharisees? to envy our Saviour this little Triumph; of coming into the City upon an Asses colt, with Garments under him instead of a Saddle, or any stately furniture, and trappings, and attended by a Company of poor People throwing their Garments, and boughs of trees in the way; yet these they would have silenced. Our Saviours reply, If these should hold their Peace, the stones would immediately cry out. It seemeth to have been a Proverbial Speech used amongst them, to signifie a thing which could not be. This Day was accomplished Gods decree in that particular passage of Providence, concerning our Saviour, which could not be defeated.
