12 The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

14 And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

15 Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

16 (These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

17 Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

18 And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

19 Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.

12 No dia seguinte, a grande multidão que tinha vindo para a festa ouviu falar que Jesus estava chegando a Jerusalém.

13 Pegaram ramos de palmeiras e saíram ao seu encontro, gritando: "Hosana! " "Bendito é o que vem em nome do Senhor! " "Bendito é o Rei de Israel! "

14 Jesus conseguiu um jumentinho e montou nele, como está escrito:

15 "Não tenhas medo, ó cidade de Sião; eis que o seu rei vem, montado num jumentinho".

16 A princípio seus discípulos não entenderam isso. Só depois que Jesus foi glorificado, perceberam que lhe fizeram essas coisas, e que elas estavam escritas a respeito dele.

17 A multidão que estava com ele, quando mandara Lázaro sair do sepulcro e o ressuscitara dos mortos, continuou a espalhar o fato.

18 Muitas pessoas, por terem ouvido falar que ele realizara tal sinal miraculoso, foram ao seu encontro.

19 E assim os fariseus disseram uns aos outros: "Não conseguimos nada. Olhem como o mundo todo vai atrás dele! "
