12 12 THE NEXT DAY the great body of pilgrims who had come to the festival, hearing that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, 12 13 [ Ps.118.25-26, Zch.9.9. ] took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord! God bless the king of Israel!' 12 14 Jesus found a donkey and mounted it, in accordance with the text of Scripture:

12 15 'Fear no more, daughter of Zion; see, your king is coming, mounted on an ass's colt.'
12 16 At the time his disciples did not understand this, but after Jesus had been glorified they remembered that this had been written about him, and that this had happened to him. 12 17 The people who were present when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead told what they had seen and heard. 12 18 That is why the crowd went to meet him; they had is heard of this sign that he had performed. 12 19 The Pharisees said to one another, 'You see you are doing no good at all; why, all the world has gone after him.'
