Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
John 12:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,”
On this verse:
“The Jews, when they called Him King of Israel, dreamed of an earthly king. They expected a king to arise, of more than human greatness, who would deliver them from the government of the Romans. But how did our Lord come? The next words tell us; And Jesus when He had found a young ass, sat thereon.”
