It's never really clear whether they are the same crowds that call for Barrabas. Many commentators not the descripancy. It doesn't help much except they are children on Palm Sunday and not at the trials. WHo really knows though. They point being two different kinds of triumph are present. They conflict with each other. Its good unresolved tension. We Lutherans love this stuff! I wonder about those folks too.

I also get confused about how we should see those who greeted Jesus on His way into Jerusalem. On the one hand, they greeted Him as a king, which is a good thing. On the other hand, they likely thought He was coming to remove the lousy Romans from the City of David, which indicates a misunderstanding of what Jesus was truly coming to do. I guess we have to throw them on the same "sometimes faithful, sometimes not" pile as we do Peter. I’m with you.
