Palm Sunday

It was explained to me the reason it was a different crowd is that the Palm Sunday event happened in a poorer area of town that would’ve been more receptive to Jesus’s message. In a big city, it’s not out of the question one crowd would be in one section, another crowd would be in another.

It seems Jesus’s arrest happened out of nowhere in the middle of the night. A crowd of Jesus’s backers simply wouldn’t have had time to assemble, & the Jewish authority had been plotting for a while, as the article brings up. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of his followers thought they weren’t needed b/c if he was the King they thought he would be, he’d have no trouble resisting the Jewish authorities.

Could there even have been some Jews in the crowd shouting ‘crucify him’ shouting the opposite? I don’t think that’s unreasonable. The point is that they decided he should be crucified, not to give a person-by-person in the crowd account of what they thought.

i'm looking forward to celebeateing Palm Sunday through Holy Week ending with Good Friday & Easter Sunday
