John 12:12–15

The Triumphal Entry

12 The next day rthe large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of spalm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, t“Hosanna! Blessed is uhe who comes in the name of the Lord, even vthe King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

15  w“Fear not, daughter of Zion;

behold, your king is coming,

sitting on a donkey’s colt!”
