John 12:12-19

12The next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They kept shouting: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord — the King of Israel!”

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

15Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.

16His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.

17Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.

18This is also why the crowd met him, because they heard he had done this sign.

19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!”
