The account of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry up to Jerusalem is recorded by all four gospel writers. Read Matthew 21:1-10; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; and John 12:12-19. What insights can be gained by comparing each writer’s account?
The prophet Zechariah in 520 B.C. wrote of the coming Messiah, “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem! Look, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” (Zechariah 9:9) In light of this prophecy, why are Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 21:1-4 significant?
The crowds present quote from Psalm 118:25-26. What does this reveal about the crowds?
Following this account, Jesus and His disciples made their way to the temple complex. Luke 19:47-48 records the reaction to Jesus by various groups of people. Who were these groups and what was their response to Jesus? For further study, use a Bible Dictionary to learn more about these groups.

“Hosanna” meaning “Lord Save” was shouted by the crowds and later by children in the temple complex (Matthew 21:15). Read Psalm 103 as a family. How does God save His people? Read Romans 8:1; Galatians 1:3-4; and 1 John 1:7. How can Jesus save us? Take some time as a family or individually to thank God for sending Jesus to save us.
