John 12:13-20

13 So they took branches of ¹palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ²“Hosanna! Blessed is ³he who comes in the name of the Lord, even ⁴the King of Israel! ”

14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

15 ⁵“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt! ”

16 ⁶His disciples did not understand these things at first, but ⁷when Jesus was glorified, then ⁸they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.

17 ⁹The 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 ¹⁰was that they heard he had done this sign.

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, ¹¹“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, ¹²the world has gone after him. ”

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

20 Now ¹³among those who went up to worship at the feast were some ¹⁴Greeks.
