English Standard Version
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus[a] was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, (A)whom he had raised from the dead. 10 (B)So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because (C)on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day (D)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of (E)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, (F)“Hosanna! Blessed is (G)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even (H)the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15 (I)“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt!”
16 (J)His disciples did not understand these things at first, but (K)when Jesus was glorified, then (L)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.
