12 Seuraavana päivänä, kun suuri kansanjoukko, joka oli saapunut juhlille, kuuli, että Jeesus oli tulossa Jerusalemiin,
14 Ja saatuansa nuoren aasin Jeesus istui sen selkään, niinkuin kirjoitettu on:
16 Tätä hänen opetuslapsensa eivät aluksi ymmärtäneet; mutta kun Jeesus oli kirkastettu, silloin he muistivat, että tämä oli hänestä kirjoitettu ja että he olivat tämän hänelle tehneet.
17 Niin kansa, joka oli ollut hänen kanssansa, kun hän kutsui Lasaruksen haudasta ja herätti hänet kuolleista, todisti hänestä.
18 Sentähden kansa menikin häntä vastaan, koska he kuulivat, että hän oli tehnyt sen tunnusteon.
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.
