John 12:13

So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!"

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem the people wanted liberation. Crying 'hosanna' - 'please save us'. But as he entered the city gate he turned towards the Temple, not the Roman garrison. He would bring them salvation, but not in the way they expected.
