Contextual Overview

1When they got close to Jerusalem, 2he told two of his cowboys, "Go into the village ahead and you will find a burro tied there with her colt standin' next to her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything, tell 'em that the Boss's Son needs them." 4This happened to fulfill what had been said long ago, 5"Say to the daughter of Jerusalem, 'Look! Your king comes to you, gentle and ridin' on a donkey, not just any donkey, but the colt of a donkey.'" 6The cowboys went into the village and did just what Jesus told 'em to. 7They brought out the donkey and her colt, and used their jackets as a saddle blanket for the colt and Jesus got on. 8A large crowd spread their ponchos, coats, and vests on the road and others cut branches off the trees and covered the ground with them. 9The crowd of people went ahead of him and shouted, "Yippe-ti-yi-yay, the Boss's Son has come!""Great is he who comes from the Lord!" "Yippe-ti-yi-yo, the Boss's Son has come!" 10When Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the whole town was askin', "Who is this cowboy?"

Cross-References

Matthew 10:37
"Any cowboy who loves his mom or dad more than me isn't worthy to ride for my outfit. Same goes for anyone who loves their kids more than they love me.
Hebrews 12:11
No one likes a butt chewin' while it's happening, but if we will listen and do what God says we will be riding better than we were the day before.

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.
