John 12:12-15 ▼

12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”

14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:

15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
