John 12:13-15
Contemporary English Version

13 (A) they took palm branches and went out to greet him.[a] They shouted,

“Hooray![b]
God bless the one who comes
    in the name of the Lord!
God bless the King
    of Israel!”

14 Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the Scriptures say,

15 (B) “People of Jerusalem,
    don't be afraid!
Your King is now coming,
and he is riding
    on a donkey.”

Footnotes

  1. 12.13 took palm branches and went out to greet him: This was one way the people welcomed a famous person.
  2. 12.13 Hooray: This translates a word that can mean “please save us.” But it is most often used as a shout of praise to God.
