orig. a cry for help Psa. 118꞉25 [MT Psalms 118:25], but as used by the Evangelists a shout of praise (Matthew 21:9, Mark 11:9 ff.) : see Dalman Words of Jesus, p. 220 ff. It is because of Luke’s omission of ὡσαννά in 19.38 that Jerome calls him ";inter omnes evangelistas Graeci sermonis eruditissimus"; (Ep. 20. 4 to Pope Damasus). For a discussion of the cry Hosanna, see F. C. Burkitt in JTS xvii. (1916), p. 139 ff., and cf. Preuschen-Bauer, Wörterb. s.v.
