John 12:12-19

21st Century King James Version

¹² On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹³ took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet Him and cried, “Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord!”

¹⁴ And Jesus, when He had found a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written:

¹⁵ “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.”

¹⁶ These things His disciples understood not at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things unto Him.

¹⁷ The people therefore who were with Him, when He called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore record.

¹⁸ For this cause the people also met Him, for they heard that He had done this miracle.

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “Perceive ye how ye prevail not at all? Behold, the world has gone after him!”
