Matthew 21:8-11
New Living Translation (NLT)
8 Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting,
11 And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
This verse is one of the few places when the Gospels record that Jesus' glory is recognized on earth. Jesus boldly declared Himself King, and the crowd gladly joined Him. But these same people would bow to political pressure and desert Him in just a few days. Today we celebrate this event on Palm Sunday. That day should remind us to guard against superficial acclaim for Christ.

Praise God in highest heaven!”
11 And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
