Matthew 21:8-16

8A very large crowd spread their clothes on the road; others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

9Then the crowds who went ahead of him and those who followed shouted: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!

10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar, saying, “Who is this?”

11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Jesus went into the temple and threw out all those buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.

13He said to them, “It is written, my house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves!”

14The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

15When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant

16and said to him, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” Jesus replied, “Yes, have you never read: You have prepared praise from the mouths of infants and nursing babies?”
