Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 12
¹² The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³ took branches of 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!"
¹⁴ Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt."
¹⁶ His disciples did not 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.
¹⁷ Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
¹⁸ For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.
¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"
²⁰ Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
²¹ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
²² Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
