Philippians 2:5-11

New International Version

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:^(A)

⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
    did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
    being made in human likeness.^(F)
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
        even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.

New International Version

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King^(A)

“Hosanna!^[a]”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”^[b]^(C)

“Blessed is the king of Israel!”^(D)

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

¹⁵“Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey’s colt.”^[c]^(E)

¹⁶At 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.

¹⁷Now 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. ¹⁸Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,^(I) went out to meet him. ¹⁹So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”^(J)

Jesus Predicts His Death

²⁰Now there were some Greeks^(K) among those who went up to worship at the festival. ²¹They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida^(L) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” ²²Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.

²³Jesus replied, “The hour^(M) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.^(N)
