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 Järgmisel päeval, kui palju rahvast, kes oli tulnud pühi pidama, kuulis, et Jeesus tuleb Jeruusalemma,

13 võtsid nad palmipuude oksi ja läksid välja Temale vastu ning hüüdsid: „Hoosianna, õnnistatud olgu, Kes tuleb Issanda nimel, Iisraeli kuningas!"

14 Aga Jeesus leidis noore eesli ja istus tema selga, nõnda nagu on kirjutatud:

15 „Ära karda, Siioni tütar! Vaata, sinu kuningas tuleb ning istub eeslisälu seljas!"

16 Sellest ei saanud jüngrid esialgu aru; aga kui Jeesus oli austatud, siis meenus neile, et see oli kirjutatud Tema kohta ja et nad Temale seda olid teinud.

17 Nii andis Temast tunnistust rahvas, kes oli Tema juures, kui ta Laatsaruse välja hüüdis hauast ja tema üles äratas surnuist.

18 Sellepärast ka rahvas läks Temale vastu, sest nad kuulsid Teda selle tunnustähe teinud olevat.

19 Siis variserid rääkisid isekeskis: „Eks te näe, et te ei saa midagi teha? Vaata, maailm jookseb Tema järele!"
