John 12:12-15

The Triumphal Entry

12 The next day 1the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 So they took branches of 2palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, 3"Hosanna! Blessed is 4he who comes in the name of the Lord, even 5the King of Israel!"
14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15 6"Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!"
