For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me."
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus,
1whom he had raised from the dead.
10
2So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well,
11
because
3on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day
4the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13
So they took branches of
5palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out,
6"Hosanna! Blessed is
7he who comes in the name of the Lord, even
8the King of Israel!"
14
And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15
9"Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!"
16
10His disciples did not understand these things at first, but
11when Jesus was glorified, then
12they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.
17
13The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness.
18
The reason why the crowd went to meet him
14was that they heard he had done this sign.
