Church Fathers on Matthew 21:12

When Jesus entered with the multitudes, the whole city of Jerusalem was moved, wondering at the crowds, and not knowing the power.

Jerome · 4th century

With good reason were they moved at sight of a thing so to be wondered at. Man was praised as God, but it was the God that was praised in the man. But, I suppose, that neither they who praised knew what they praised, but the Spirit that suddenly inspired there poured forth the words of truth.

Pseudo-Chrysostom · 5th century

Moreover, when Jesus entered the true Jerusalem, they cried out, wondering at His heavenly virtues, and said, 'Who is this King of glory?' [Ps 24:8]
