John 12:12-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² The next day, a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus would come to Jerusalem,

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

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

¹⁵ “Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at the first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him. And that they had done these things to Him.

¹⁷ Therefore, the people who were with Him bore witness that He called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead.

¹⁸ Thus, the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.

¹⁹ And the Pharisees said among themselves, “Do you see how nothing is better? Behold, the world goes after Him.”
