Matthew 21:11
This is a faithless answer. Though it recognizes Jesus as a prophet, it does not contain any affirmation of his being the Messiah. It is a sad reminder that his own received him not. Many have said that this was actually an affirmation because they were saying he was ‘The Prophet’ which Moses had said would come. However, if they did, they didn’t mean it. If most people in Jerusalem had really believed Jesus was The Prophet and had taken that to heart, the city would have accepted him with open arms. But, as it stands, though many of the people did accept him, they held no sway over the nation as a whole. They could not prevent the result, Jesus’ death before the end of the week.
