Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 19:36

"And as he went, they spread their garments in the way." — Luke 19:36 (ASV)

They spread their clothes in the way.—Better, garments, the word being the same as in the preceding verse, and in both cases meaning the outer garment or cloak. (See Note on Matthew 5:40.) St. Luke, it may be noticed, does not mention the branches of trees of which St. Matthew and St. Mark speak. The verb implies the constantly repeated act of casting down the garments as the Lord rode on.
