Context
Building on the messianic shouts of "Hosanna" in verse 9, this verse deepens the crowd's proclamation by explicitly linking Jesus to the kingdom of David. These combined declarations amplify the significance of Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, directly preceding His arrival at the temple and the shift from public acclamation to His direct actions within the city.
v.9And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
v.10This passage
v.11And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
