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.

12 第二天， 有一大群上来过节的人， 听见耶稣要来耶路撒冷，

13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他， 欢呼说： "和散那， 奉主名来的以色列王， 是应当称颂的！ "

14 耶稣找到一头小驴， 就骑在上面， 正如经上所记的：

15 "锡安的居民哪， 不要惧怕； 看哪， 你的王来了， 他骑着小驴来了。"

16 门徒起初不明白这些事， 可是到耶稣得了荣耀以后， 他们才想起这些话是指着他说的， 并且人们果然向他这样行了。

17 那些和耶稣在一起， 看见他叫拉撒路从坟墓出来， 又使他从死人中复活的群众， 都为这事作见证。

18 群众因为听见他行了这神迹， 就去迎接他。

19 于是法利赛人彼此说： "你们看， 你们都是徒劳无功， 世人都去跟随他了！ "
