When Matthew’s gospel tells us the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, he ends the story on a strange note. After all the Hosanna’s and celebration of Jesus as he approached the city, Matthew tells us that, when Jesus actually enters, “the whole city was in turmoil.” The Greek word for “turmoil” there means “shaken,” and not in a good way. It implies fear, not excitement. Why is Jerusalem shaking in fear at the conclusion of a grand parade for Jesus?
