11:9-10 Praise God! (Greek Hosanna): By the first century AD, Hosanna was no longer used literally as a cry for rescue from enemies but had become an idiomatic expression of joy and jubilation (cp. “Praise the Lord!” as used today). For the people, it was the exuberant welcome (Luke 19:38-40) of a famous pilgrim, the prophet from Galilee (Matt 21:11). The miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead might have contributed to the excitement of the day (John 12:9-11), but even the disciples did not truly understand this event until later (John 12:16). For Jesus, though, it was a fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus prepared for the occasion carefully and offered himself to the people of Israel as God’s Anointed, the Messiah.
