John 12:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ (His disciples didn’t realize at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy; but after Jesus returned to his glory in heaven, then they noticed how many prophecies of Scripture had come true before their eyes.)

¹⁷ And those in the crowd who had seen Jesus call Lazarus back to life were telling all about it. ¹⁸ That was the main reason why so many went out to meet him—because they had heard about this mighty miracle.
