John 12:12-19 NIV
12 The next day the great crowd
that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to
Jerusalem.
13 They took palm branches and
went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the King of Israel!"
14 Jesus found a young donkey
and sat upon it, as it is written,
15 "Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion; see, your king is
coming,
seated on a donkey's colt."
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only
after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had
been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him 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 given this miraculous sign, 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!" |
