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 Enters Jerusalem(A)

12 The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting,

“Hosanna![a]
How blessed is the one who comes
    in the name of the Lord,[b] the King of Israel!”

14 Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:

15 “Stop being afraid, people[c] of Zion.
Look, your king is coming,
    sitting upon a donkey’s colt!”[d]

16 At first, his disciples didn’t understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people[e] had done these things to him. 17 So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen.[f] 18 The crowd was going out to meet Jesus[g] because they had heard that he had performed this sign. 19 Then the Pharisees told one another, “You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!”
