John 12

Jesus’ Triumphant Entry

12 The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors 13 took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted,

"Praise God!*12:13a Greek Hosanna, an exclamation of praise adapted from a Hebrew expression that means "save now."

Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

Hail to the King of Israel!"*12:13b Ps 118:25-26; Zeph 3:15.
