Matthew21:11

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee.

Such an unusual sight might well affect a great number in Ierusalem, with Admiration and Astonishment; the People especially, giving Honour to him as a King, and calling him the Son of David; and certainly, but that the Meanness of his Appearance, and Meanness of his Followers, put uninteressed Men out of Fear; and gave Herod, and Pilate some security, that there was no Attempt on Foot, against the Civil Government: Our Saviour and his Followers would have been apprehended, as Raisers of a Sedition and Rebellion. But the multitude now gave him no other Title, than that of Jesus the Prophet; which yet was enough to distinguish him from other Prophets, for he was Iesus a Saviour, and the Prophet foretold, Deut. 18.15.18, 19.
