12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: 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 people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

12 Den følgende dag, da meget folk som var kommet til høitiden, fikk høre at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,

13 tok de palmegrener og gikk ut for å møte ham, og ropte: Hosianna! Velsignet være han som kommer i Herrens navn, Israels konge!

14 Men Jesus fant et ungt asen og satte sig på det, således som skrevet er:

15 Frykt ikke, Sions datter! Se, din konge kommer, sittende på en asenfole.

16 Dette skjønte ikke hans disipler i førstningen; men da Jesus var blitt herliggjort, da kom de i hu at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de hadde gjort dette for ham.

17 Den hop som var i følge med ham, vidnet da at han hadde kalt Lasarus ut av graven og opvakt ham fra de døde;

18 derfor var det også folket gikk ham i møte, fordi de hadde hørt at han hadde gjort dette tegn.

19 Fariseerne sa da til hverandre: I ser at I intet utretter; se, all verden løper efter ham!
