A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 21:10

"And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?" — Matthew 21:10 (ASV)

Was stirred (εσεισθη). Shaken as by an earthquake. "Even Jerusalem frozen with religious formalism and socially undemonstrative, was stirred with popular enthusiasm as by a mighty wind or by an earthquake" (Bruce).
