John 12:14

Verse 14 of 50. The 12th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

10But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

15“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
