9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”2
“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”4
“Hosanna in the highest!”6
1 Hosanna is a transliteration of the Hebrew Hosia-na, meaning Save, we pray or Save now, which became a shout of praise; see Psalms 118:25; also in verse 15.
3 Or “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” See Psalms 118:25 and Psalms 148:1.
