John 12:13

Jesus
Praise and worshipJesus Christ

11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.

12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming 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!”

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

15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
