MATTHEW 21:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.”
And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! The Hosanna shout is the Psalm 118:25–26 cry: the people are quoting the psalm of the king's processional entry into the temple. Hosanna is the Hebrew hoshia-na — save now — which had become a liturgical acclamation. The Son of David title is the messianic designation. The blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord is the coronation greeting. The crowds are enacting a messianic coronation.
