Contextual Overview
1 Jesus and his followers were coming closer to Jerusalem. But first they stopped at Bethphage at the hill called the Mount of Olives. From there Jesus sent two of his followers into town. 2 He said to them, "Go to the town you can see there. When you enter it, you will find a donkey with her colt. Untie them both, and bring them to me. 3 If anyone asks you why you are taking the donkeys, tell them, ‘The Master needs them. He will send them back soon.'" 4 This showed the full meaning of what the prophet said: 5 "Tell the people of Zion, ‘Now your king is coming to you. He is humble and riding on a donkey. He is riding on a young donkey, born from a work animal.'" 6 The followers went and did what Jesus told them to do. 7 They brought the mother donkey and the young donkey to him. They covered the donkeys with their coats, and Jesus sat on them. 8 On the way to Jerusalem, many people spread their coats on the road for Jesus. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking behind him. They all shouted, "Praise to the Son of David! ‘Welcome! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!' Praise to God in heaven!" 10 Then Jesus went into Jerusalem. All the people in the city were confused. They asked, "Who is this man?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the multitude said,.... Or the people, as the Vulgate Latin, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel read; the common people, that went before, and followed after him: these knew Christ better than the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Scribes and Pharisees, and rulers of the people.
This is Jesus the prophet: that prophet Moses spoke of, in
Deuteronomy 18:15 and the nation of the Jews in general expected:
of Nazareth of Galilee; who, though he was not born there, yet being educated, and having lived much in that place, is said to be of it; and which was the common opinion of the people.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 21:11. This is Jesus THE PROPHET] ο προφητης THAT prophet whom Moses spoke of, Deuteronomy 18:18. I will raise them up a prophet - like unto thee, &c. Every expression of the multitude plainly intimated that they fully received our blessed Lord as the promised Messiah. - How strange is it that these same people (if the creatures of the high priest be not only intended) should, about five days after, change their hosannas for, Away with him! crucify him! crucify him! How fickle is the multitude! Even when they get right, there is but little hope that they will continue so long.
