Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 19:38

"saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest." — Luke 19:38 (ASV)

Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. The substitution of “glory” for the “Hosanna” of St. Matthew and St. Mark is characteristic of the Gentile Evangelist. The parallelism between the shouts of the multitude before the Passion, and the song of the angels at the Nativity (Luke 2:14) is, in many ways, suggestive. There the voices spoke of peace on earth; here the multitude, prophesying unconsciously, speak of peace in heaven.
