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!’ Psalm 118:25-26 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?”
11. The crowds following Jesus answered, “This is Jesus. He is the prophet from the town of Nazareth in Galilee.”
