LUKE 19:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.”
Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest — the Psalm 118:26 acclamation with the key addition: the king (ho basileus) who comes in the name of the Lord. The messianic king identification makes the entry the explicit claiming of kingship. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest echoes the angelic song at the birth (2:14) — the entry is the completion of what the nativity began.
