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 IL giorno seguente, una gran moltitudine, ch’era venuta alla festa, udito che Gesù veniva in Gerusalemme,

13 prese de’ rami di palme, ed uscì incontro a lui, e gridava: Osanna! benedetto sia il Re d’Israele, che viene nel nome del Signore.

14 E Gesù, trovato un asinello, vi montò su, secondo ch’egli è scritto:

15 Non temere, o figliuola di Sion; ecco, il tuo Re viene, montato sopra un puledro d’asina.

16 Or i suoi discepoli non intesero da prima queste cose; ma, quando Gesù fu glorificato, allora si ricordarono che queste cose erano scritte di lui, e ch’essi gli avean fatte queste cose.

17 La moltitudine adunque ch’era con lui testimoniava ch’egli avea chiamato Lazaro fuori del monumento, e l’avea suscitato da’ morti.

18 Perciò ancora la moltitudine gli andò incontro, perciocchè avea udito che egli avea fatto questo miracolo.

19 Laonde i Farisei disser tra loro: Vedete che non profittate nulla? ecco, il mondo gli va dietro
