The Triumphal Entry

12 On the next day (A)the large crowd who had come to (B)the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “(C)Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the [a]Lord, even the (D)King of Israel.” 14 And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written, 15 (E)Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkeys colt.” 16 (F)These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus (G)was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and that they had done these things to Him. 17 So (H)the crowd, who was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to bear witness about Him. 18 (I)For this reason also the crowd went and met Him, (J)because they heard that He had done this [b]sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing; look, the world has gone after Him.”

The King Comes to Jerusalem

12 The next day, the large crowd that had come for the Festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 Taking palm branches, they went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord—the King of Israel!”[a]

14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written:

15 Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion.
Look! Your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.[b]

16 At first, his disciples did not understand these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they did these things for him.

17 The crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead kept telling what they had seen. 18 This is another reason a crowd met him: They heard he had done this miraculous sign.

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You are accomplishing nothing. Look! The world has gone after him.”
