12 Järgmisel päeval, kui palju rahvast, kes oli tulnud pühi pidama, kuulis, et Jeesus tuleb Jeruusalemma,

13 võtsid nad palmipuude oksi ja läksid välja Temale vastu ning hüüdsid: „Hoosianna, õnnistatud olgu, Kes tuleb Issanda nimel, Iisraeli kuningas!"

14 Aga Jeesus leidis noore eesli ja istus tema selga, nõnda nagu on kirjutatud:

15 „Ära karda, Siioni tütar! Vaata, sinu kuningas tuleb ning istub eeslisälu seljas!"

16 Sellest ei saanud jüngrid esialgu aru; aga kui Jeesus oli austatud, siis meenus neile, et see oli kirjutatud Tema kohta ja et nad Temale seda olid teinud.

17 Nii andis Temast tunnistust rahvas, kes oli Tema juures, kui ta Laatsaruse välja hüüdis hauast ja tema üles äratas surnuist.

18 Sellepärast ka rahvas läks Temale vastu, sest nad kuulsid Teda selle tunnustähe teinud olevat.

19 Siis variserid rääkisid isekeskis: „Eks te näe, et te ei saa midagi teha? Vaata, maailm jookseb Tema järele!"

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.
