23 When Jesus and the multitude had come into Jerusalem, excitement reigned, and people asked, Who is this man?
24 The multitude replied, This is the king, the prophet, priest of God; this is the man from Galilee.
25 But Jesus tarried not; he went directly to the temple porch, and it was filled with people pressing hard to see the king.
26 The sick, the halt, the lame, the blind were there, and Jesus paused, and laid his hands on them and healed them by the sacred Word.
27 The temple and the temple courts were filled with children praising God. They said, Hosanna to the king! The son of David is the king! All hail the king! Praise God!
28 The Pharisees were filled with anger when they heard the children sing. They said to Jesus, Hear you what the children say?
29 And Jesus said, I hear; but have you never read the words of our own bard who said,
30 Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise!
31 And when the evening came the Lord and his disciples went again to Bethany.
