012:010 The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus
also to death,
012:011 for because of him many of the Jews left them and became
believers in Jesus.
012:012 The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival,
hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
012:013 took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord—even on the King of Israel!"
012:014 And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it,
just as the Scripture says,
012:015 "Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding
on an ass's colt."
012:016 The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time;
but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this
was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
012:017 The large number of people, however, who had been present when He
called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life,
related what they had witnessed.
012:018 This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
012:019 The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
