John 12:9-17
New King James Version
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (A)whom He had raised from the dead. 10 (B)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 (C)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry(D)
12 (E)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
(F)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”
14 (G)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
15 “Fear(H) not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, your King is coming,
Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 (I)His disciples did not understand these things at first; (J)but when Jesus was glorified, (K)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(D)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches(E) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![a]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(G)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(I) Only after Jesus was glorified(J) did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him(K) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.
