New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)
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(B) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![a]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(D)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(F) Only after Jesus was glorified(G) 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(H) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(I) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(J)

The Triumphal Entry
12 The(A) next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took palm branches(B) and went out to meet Him. They kept shouting: “Hosanna!(C) He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One(D)[a]—the King of Israel!”(E)
14 Jesus found a young donkey(F) and sat on it, just as it is written: 15 Fear no more,(G) Daughter Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.(H)[b]
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him(I) and that they had done these things to Him. 17 Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb(J) and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.[c] 18 This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign.
19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look—the world has gone after Him!”(K)
