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 andern Tages, da viel Volks, das aufs Fest gekommen war, hörte, daß Jesus käme gen Jerusalem,

13 nahmen sie Palmenzweige und gingen hinaus ihm entgegen und schrieen: Hosianna! Gelobt sei, der da kommt in dem Namen des HERRN, der König von Israel!

14 Jesus aber fand ein Eselein und ritt darauf; wie denn geschrieben steht:

15 "Fürchte dich nicht du Tochter Zion! Siehe, dein König kommt, reitend auf einem Eselsfüllen."

16 Solches verstanden seine Jünger zuvor nicht; sondern da Jesus verklärt ward, da dachten sie daran, daß solches von ihm geschrieben war und sie solches ihm getan hatten.

17 Das Volk aber, das mit ihm war, da er Lazarus aus dem Grabe rief und von den Toten auferweckte, rühmte die Tat.

18 Darum ging ihm auch das Volk entgegen, da sie hörten, er hätte solches Zeichen getan.

19 Die Pharisäer aber sprachen untereinander: Ihr sehet, daß ihr nichts ausrichtet; siehe, alle Welt läuft ihm nach!
