I have heard it said how amazing it was that on one day the multitude was so gloriously happy as Jesus approached Jerusalem (Jn.12:11-13 below) and that on the next day this multitude was crying out for Jesus' crucifixion (Matt.27:22-23 below).
I believe that the multitude crying out "Hosanna" (Jn.12:13 below) were Jews who believed on Jesus (Jn.12:11 below) and that the multitude crying out for Jesus' crucifixion the next day where a multitude who did not believe on Jesus as their Savior (Matt.27:22-23 below).
Jn.12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus (Jn.4:1-2 below).
Jn.12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to
Jn.12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Jn.4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Jn.4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
Matt.27:15 Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Matt.27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Matt.27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
Matt.27:18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Matt.27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Matt.27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Matt.27:21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Matt.27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Matt.27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Matt.27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it].

Matt.27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
