Contextual Overview

1 And as he approached Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, by the side of the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples; 2 and said to them: Go into this village which is over against you, and directly ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie and bring [fn] to me. 3 And if any man say ought to you, tell him, That they are needed by our Lord: and at once he will send them hither. 4 Now this whole occurrence was, that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 And they brought the ass and the colt. And they placed their garments on the colt, and set Jesus upon it. 8 And a very great throng strewed their clothes in the path; and others cut branches from the trees, and cast them in the path. 9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed after him, shouted and said: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 10 And as he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion; and they said, Who is this?

Cross-References

Matthew 10:37
He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me:
Hebrews 12:11
Now all chastisement, in the time of it, is not accounted a matter of joy, but of grief: yet, afterwards, it yieldeth the fruits of peace and righteousness to them who are exercised by it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the multitude said,.... Or the people, as the Vulgate Latin, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel read; the common people, that went before, and followed after him: these knew Christ better than the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Scribes and Pharisees, and rulers of the people.

This is Jesus the prophet: that prophet Moses spoke of, in

Deuteronomy 18:15 and the nation of the Jews in general expected:

of Nazareth of Galilee; who, though he was not born there, yet being educated, and having lived much in that place, is said to be of it; and which was the common opinion of the people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 21:11. This is Jesus THE PROPHET] ο προφητης THAT prophet whom Moses spoke of, Deuteronomy 18:18. I will raise them up a prophet - like unto thee, &c. Every expression of the multitude plainly intimated that they fully received our blessed Lord as the promised Messiah. - How strange is it that these same people (if the creatures of the high priest be not only intended) should, about five days after, change their hosannas for, Away with him! crucify him! crucify him! How fickle is the multitude! Even when they get right, there is but little hope that they will continue so long.
