12On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus is coming to Jerusalem, 13took branches of the palm-trees and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel. 14And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written:
15Fear not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, thy King comes,
Sitting on an ass's colt.
16These things his disciples understood not at the first. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did 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, bore witness. 18For this the multitude also met him, because they heard that he had wrought this sign. 19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Perceive ye that ye avail nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.
20And there were certain Greeks, of those who come up to worship at the feast. 21These came therefore to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus. 22Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus.
23And Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24Verily, verily, I say to you, except the grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone; but if it die, it brings forth much fruit. 25He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be. If any one serve me, him will the Father honor.
27Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour[27]! But for this cause came I unto this hour. 28Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice out of heaven: I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said that it thundered; others said: An angel has spoken to him. 30Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for your sakes. 31Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me. 33This he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
