12 No dia seguinte, uma grande multidão que tinha vindo à festa em Jerusalém ouviu dizer que Jesus se ia aproximando.

13 Saíram-lhe ao encontro com ramos de palmas, exclamando: Hosana! Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor, o rei de Israel!

14 Tendo Jesus encontrado um jumentinho, montou nele, segundo o que está escrito:

15 Não temas, filha de Sião, eis que vem o teu rei montado num filho de jumenta {Zc 9,9}.

16 Os seus discípulos a princípio não compreendiam essas coisas, mas, quando Jesus foi glorificado, então se lembraram de que isto estava escrito a seu respeito e de que assim lho fizeram.

17 A multidão, pois, que se achava com ele, quando chamara Lázaro do sepulcro e o ressuscitara, aclamava-o.

18 Por isso o povo lhe saía ao encontro, porque tinha ouvido que Jesus fizera aquele milagre.

19 Mas os fariseus disseram entre si: Vede! Nada adiantamos! Reparai que todo mundo corre após ele!

12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.

13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! "" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" ""Blessed is the king of Israel!"

14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:

15 "Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt." [6]

16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.

17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.

18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!"
