JOHN 12:12-19-16 (NIV)
The next day the great crowd
that had come to the festival
heard that Jesus
was on his way
to Jerusalem
They took palm branches
and went out to meet him
shouting "Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord"
"Blessed is the king of Israel"
Jesus found a young donkey
and sat on it
as it is written:
"Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion,
see
your king is coming
seated on a donkey's colt"
At first, his disciples
did not understand all this
Only after Jesus
was glorified
did they realize that these things
had been written about him
and these things had been done
to him
