Context of Matthew 21:10
8Most of the people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowd that went ahead of him and that followed him was shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When Jesus came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. People were asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowd answered, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.” 12Jesus went into the temple courtyard and threw out everyone who was buying and selling there. He overturned the moneychangers’ tables and the chairs of those who sold pigeons.
