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

14 Yeshua, 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 Yeshua 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 No dia seguinte, a notícia de que Jesus ia a caminho de Jerusalém espalhou-se pela cidade, e uma multidão enorme de gente de fora que tinha ido para celebrar a Páscoa pegou em ramos de palmeira, veio ao seu encontro e seguiu pela estrada adiante, gritando: Glória a Deus! Bendito o rei de Israel, que vem em nome do Senhor!

16 Naquela altura, os discípulos não compreenderam que era o cumprimento duma profecia. Somente depois de Jesus ter voltado para a sua glória no céu é que repararam no cumprimento das profecias das Escrituras a seu respeito.

17 E aqueles dentre a multidão que tinham visto Jesus chamar Lázaro de novo à vida contavam o caso aos restantes. Foi esse o principal motivo que levou tantos a saírem ao seu encontro, por terem ouvido falar neste grandioso milagre.

19 Os fariseus disseram entre si: Perdemos! Olhem como todo o povo vai atrás dele!
