John 12:12-19
Wycliffe Bible
12 But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem [when they had heard, for Jesus cometh to Jerusalem],
13 took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on [upon] him, as it is written,
15 The daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's foal. [Daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on the colt of a she ass.]
16 His disciples knew not first these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they had mind [then they recorded, or had mind], that these things were written of him, and these things they did to him.
17 Therefore the people bare witnessing, that was with him, when he called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from death [from dead].
18 And therefore the people came, and met with him, for they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves, Ye see, that we profit nothing; lo! all the world hath gone after him [lo! all the world went after him].

New Matthew Bible
12 On the next day, many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went and met him, and cried, Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel! 14 And Jesus got a young donkey and sat on it, according to that which was written: 15 Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
16 These things his disciples did not understand at the first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that such things were written of him, and that people had done such things to him.
17 The people that had been with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from death were speaking about it. 18 Therefore the crowd met him, because they heard that he had done such a miracle. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, See how we are accomplishing nothing? Look, the world is going away after him.
