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! "

12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. 14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing; lo, the world is gone after him.
