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 Des anderen daags, een grote schare, die tot het feest gekomen was, horende, dat Jezus naar Jeruzalem kwam,

13 Namen de takken van palmbomen, en gingen uit Hem tegemoet, en riepen: Hosanna! Gezegend is Hij, Die komt in den Naam des Heeren, Hij, Die is de Koning Israels!

14 En Jezus vond een jongen ezel, en zat daarop, gelijk geschreven is:

15 Vrees niet, gij dochter Sions, zie, uw Koning komt, zittende op het veulen ener ezelin.

16 Doch dit verstonden Zijn discipelen in het eerst niet; maar als Jezus verheerlijkt was, toen werden zij indachtig, dat dit van Hem geschreven was, en dat zij Hem dit gedaan hadden.

17 De schare dan, die met Hem was, getuigde dat Hij Lazarus uit het graf geroepen, en hem uit de doden opgewekt had.

18 Daarom ging ook de schare Hem tegemoet, overmits zij gehoord had, dat Hij dat teken gedaan had.

19 De Farizeen dan zeiden onder elkander: Ziet gij wel, dat gij gans niet vordert? Ziet, de gehele wereld gaat Hem na.
