John 12:12-19

New American Standard Bible

The Triumphal Entry

¹² On the next day, when ^(A)the large crowd that had come to ^(B)the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “^(C)Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the ^(D)King of Israel!” ¹⁴ Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: ¹⁵ “^(E)Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” ^16 (F)These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus ^(G)was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things for Him. ¹⁷ So ^(H)the ^[a]people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. ^18 (I)For this reason also the ^[b]people went to meet Him, ^(J)because they heard that He had performed this ^[c]sign. ¹⁹ So the Pharisees said ^[d]to one another, “You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!”
