{At the descent} (pros t(8869) katabasei). Epexegetic of
"drawing nigh." They were going by the southern slope of the
Mount of Olives. As they turned down to the city, the grand view
stirred the crowd to rapturous enthusiasm. This was the first
sight of the city on this route which is soon obscured in the
descent. The second view bursts out again (verse  41 ). It was a
shout of triumph from the multitude with their long pent-up
enthusiasm (verse  11 ), restrained no longer by the parable of
the pounds. {For all the mighty works which they had seen} (peri
pas(936e) eidon duname(936e)). Neat Greek idiom, incorporation of the
antecedent (duname(936e)) into the relative clause and attraction
of the case of the relative from the accusative has to the
genitive h(936e). And note "all." The climax had come, Lazarus,
Bartimaeus, and the rest.
