"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest." Matthew 21:9. Many Pharisees witnessed this scene, and were displeased. They felt that they were losing the control of the people. With all their authority they tried to silence them; but their threats and appeals only increased the enthusiasm. Finding that they could not control the people, they pressed through the crowd to where Jesus was, and said to Him: "Master, rebuke Thy disciples."

"Hosianna Davids søn! Velsignet være han, som kommer, i Herrens navn! Hosianna i det højeste!" Matt. 21,9. Mange farisæere var vidne til denne scene,som mishagede dem. De havde en fornemmelse af, at de var ved at miste deres indflydelse over folket. Med al den myndighed, de var i besiddelse af, forsøgte de at bringe dem til tavshed. Men deres trusler og henstillinger øgede blot begejstringen.
