It is a liturgical expression of praise and a plea for salvation, acknowledging Jesus' messianic role. Context: The term ὡσαννά appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as recorded in the Gospels. The crowds, recognizing Jesus as the promised Messiah, shout "Hosanna" as a form of praise and a plea for deliverance. This event is significant in the Christian tradition as it marks the public acknowledgment of Jesus' messianic identity. The use of ὡσαννά reflects the Jewish expectation of a savior who would bring deliverance and establish God's kingdom. In the Berean Standard Bible, Matthew 21:9 states, "The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Hosanna in the highest!'" This passage highlights the dual nature of ὡσαννά as both a cry for salvation and an expression of messianic hope. The term is also found in Mark 11:9-10 and John 12:13, where similar expressions of praise are recorded. The use of ὡσαννά in these contexts underscores the recognition of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah.
