12 Die volgende dag het 'n groot menigte feesgangers, toe hulle hoor dat Jesus na Jerusalem kom,

13 palmtakke geneem en uitgegaan Hom tegemoet en geroep: Hosanna! Geseënd is Hy wat kom in die Naam van die Here, die Koning van Israel.

14 En Jesus het 'n jong esel gevind en daarop gaan sit, soos geskrywe is:

15 Moenie vrees nie, dogter van Sion! Kyk, jou Koning kom en Hy sit op die vul van 'n esel.

16 Dit het sy dissipels egter eers nie verstaan nie; maar nadat Jesus verheerlik is, toe het dit hulle bygeval dat hierdie dinge van Hom geskrywe was en dat hulle dit aan Hom gedoen het.

17 En die skare wat by Hom was toe Hy Lasarus uit die graf geroep en hom uit die dode opgewek het, het daarvan getuig.

18 Daarom het die skare Hom ook tegemoetgegaan, omdat hulle gehoor het dat Hy hierdie teken gedoen het.

19 En die Fariseërs het vir mekaar gesê: Sien julle dat julle niks vorder nie? Kyk, die hele wêreld loop agter Hom aan.

12 The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

14 And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

15 Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

16 (These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

17 Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

18 And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

19 Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.
