TheG3588 crowdsG3793 thatG3588 went aheadG4254 of HimG846 andG2532 those thatG3588 followedG190 were shoutingG2896:

“HosannaG5614 to theG3588 SonG5207 of DavidG1138!”1
“Blessed isG2127 HeG3588 who comesG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!”2

WhenG846 Jesus had enteredG1525G1519 JerusalemG2414, theG3588 wholeG3956 cityG4172 was stirredG4579 and askedG3004, “WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778?”

TheG3588 crowdsG3793 repliedG2036, “ThisG3778 isG1510 JesusG2424, theG3588 prophetG4396 fromG575 NazarethG3478 in GalileeG1056.”

12ThenG2532 JesusG2424 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts4 andG2532 drove outG1544 allG3956 who wereG3588 buyingG59 andG2532 sellingG4453 there. He overturnedG2690 theG3588 tablesG5132 of theG3588 money changersG2855 andG2532 theG3588 seatsG2515 of thoseG3588 sellingG4453 dovesG4058. 13AndG2532 He declaredG3004 to themG846, “It is writtenG1125: ‘MyG1473 houseG3624 will be calledG2564 a houseG3624 of prayerG4335.’5 ButG1161 youG4771 are makingG4160 itG846 ‘a denG4693 of robbersG3027.’6”

The blindG5185 andG2532 the lameG5560 cameG4334 to HimG846 atG1722 theG3588 templeG2411, andG2532 He healedG2323 themG846. 15ButG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 were indignantG23 when they sawG3708 theG3588 wondersG2297 He performedG4160 andG2532 theG3588 childrenG3816 shoutingG2532G3004G3588G2896 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, “HosannaG5614 to theG3588 SonG5207 of DavidG1138!”

16“Do You hearG191 whatG5101 theseG3778 children are sayingG3004?” they askedG2036.

“YesG3483,” JesusG2424 answeredG3004. “Have you never readG3763G314:
