Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 'Hosanna to the Son of David'
Matthew 21:15 notes that even after the entry, children in the Temple courts continued to shout 'Hosanna to the Son of David.' This angered the chief priests, but Jesus defended the children by quoting Scripture about perfect praise.
