Wesley's Notes

12:43 The children rejoiced - And their hosanna's were not despised, but are recorded to their praise. All that share in public mercies, ought to join in public thanksgivings.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

43. the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off-The events of the day, viewed in connection with the now repaired and beautified state of the city, raised the popular feeling to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and the fame of their rejoicings was spread far and near.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:27-43 All our cities, all our houses, must have holiness to the Lord written upon them. The believer should undertake nothing which he does not dedicate to the Lord. We are concerned to cleanse our hands, and purify our hearts, when any work for God is to pass through them. Those that would be employed to sanctify others, must sanctify themselves, and set themselves apart for God. To those who are sanctified, all their creature-comforts and enjoyments are made holy. The people greatly rejoiced. All that share in public mercies, ought to join in public thanksgivings.


Psalm 9:2 I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Psalm 92:4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands. (NASB ©1995)
