Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 12
⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.
⁷ Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.
⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me."
⁹ The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.
¹⁰ But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;
¹¹ because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
¹² On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel."
¹⁴ Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt."
¹⁶ These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.
