Luke 19:45-48 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

(45-48) And he went into the temple. — See Notes on Matthew 21:12-17; Mark 11:15-19. St. Luke apparently agrees with St. Matthew in thinking of the expulsion of the money-changers as taking place on the same day as the Entry. His narrative is here the least descriptive of the three.
