Reports have reached the rulers in Jerusalem that Jesus is approaching the city with a great concourse of people. But they have no welcome for the Son of God. In fear they go out to meet Him, hoping to disperse the throng. As the procession is about to descend the Mount of Olives, it is intercepted by the rulers. They inquire the cause of the tumultuous rejoicing. As they question, "Who is this?" the disciples, filled with the spirit of inspiration, answer this question. In eloquent strains they repeat the prophecies concerning Christ:

Rygtet er nået til rådsherrerne i Jerusalem, at Jesus nærmer sig byen med et stort følge. Men de har ingen velkomstord til Guds Søn. Ængsteligt går de ham i møde i håb om at adsprede mængden. Da toget er ved at stige ned ad Oliebjerget, bliver det standset af rådsherrerne. De spørger, hvad grunden er til denne højrøstet glæde. Da de spørger: "Hvem er dog han?" besvarer disciplene spørgsmålet med Åndens inspirerende kraft. Med stor veltalenhed gentager de profetierne om Kristus.
