12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, 15 "Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt." 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

12 Die volgende dag het 'n groot menigte feesgangers, toe hulle hoor dat Jesus na Jerusalem kom,

13 palmtakke geneem en uitgegaan Hom tegemoet en geroep: Hosanna! Geseënd is Hy wat kom in die Naam van die Here, die Koning van Israel.

14 En Jesus het 'n jong esel gevind en daarop gaan sit, soos geskrywe is:

15 Moenie vrees nie, dogter van Sion! Kyk, jou Koning kom en Hy sit op die vul van 'n esel.

16 Dit het sy dissipels egter eers nie verstaan nie; maar nadat Jesus verheerlik is, toe het dit hulle bygeval dat hierdie dinge van Hom geskrywe was en dat hulle dit aan Hom gedoen het.

17 En die skare wat by Hom was toe Hy Lasarus uit die graf geroep en hom uit die dode opgewek het, het daarvan getuig.

18 Daarom het die skare Hom ook tegemoetgegaan, omdat hulle gehoor het dat Hy hierdie teken gedoen het.

19 En die Fariseërs het vir mekaar gesê: Sien julle dat julle niks vorder nie? Kyk, die hele wêreld loop agter Hom aan.
