John 12:15-25

15 "1FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."
16 2These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus 3was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
17 So 4the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.
18 5For this reason also the people went and met Him, 6because they heard that He had performed this sign.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him."
