John 12:12-19 ▼

12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, |Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.|

14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

15 |Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.|

16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

17 The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, |See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him.|
