| The next
day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus
was on his way to Jerusalem. 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!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat
upon it, as it is written, “Do not be afraid, O Daughter
of Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey's colt.”
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 they had done these things to him.
John 12:12-16
