John 12:12-19

12TheG3588 next dayG1887 theG3588 greatG4183 crowdG3793 thatG3588 had comeG2064 toG1519 theG3588 feastG1859 heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comingG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2414. 13They tookG2983 palmG5404 branchesG902 andG2532 went outG1831 toG1519 meetG5222 HimG846, shoutingG2905:

“HosannaG5614!”1
“Blessed isG2127 He whoG3588 comesG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!”2
“Blessed is theG3588 KingG935 of IsraelG2474!”

FindingG2147 a young donkeyG3678, JesusG2424 satG2523 onG1909 itG846, asG2531 it isG1510 writtenG1125:

15“Do not be afraidG5399G3361, O DaughterG2364 of ZionG4622.SeeG2400, yourG4771 KingG935 is comingG2064,seatedG2521 onG1909 the coltG4454 of a donkeyG3688.”3

16At firstG3588G4413 HisG846 disciplesG3101 did notG3756 understandG1097 these thingsG3778, butG235 afterG3753 JesusG2424 was glorifiedG1392 they rememberedG3403 what had been doneG4160 to HimG846, and they realized thatG3754 these very thingsG3778 hadG1510 alsoG2532 been writtenG1125 aboutG1909 HimG846.

17MeanwhileG3767, many peopleG3793 whoG3588 had beenG1510 withG3326 Jesus whenG3753 He calledG5455 LazarusG2976 fromG1537 theG3588 tombG3419 andG2532 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498 continued to testifyG3140. 18That is also whyG1223G3778G2532 theG3588 crowdG3793 went out to meetG5221 HimG846, becauseG3754 they heard thatG191 HeG846 had performedG4160 thisG3778 signG4592.

19ThenG3767 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 saidG2036 toG4314 one anotherG1438, “You can seeG2334 thatG3754 this is doing you no goodG5623G3756G3762. LookG2400 how theG3588 whole worldG2889 has goneG565 afterG3694 HimG846!”
