those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna[c] in the highest!"

Man'?" |
The CURIOSITY of the CROWDS
"Who is this?" - MT. 21:10
a man of MANY MYSTERIOUS SAYINGS
a man who MINISTERED in the SUPERNATURAL
a man of MUCH SUFFERING and SORROW
The CONJECTURE of the CRITICS
"Some say..." - MT. 16:14
merely a LIAR or a LUNATIC?
merely a RELIGIOUS RADICAL?
merely a PIOUS and POWERFUL PROPHET?
merely a MISGUIDED MARTYR?
