12 No dia seguinte, uma grande multidão que tinha vindo à festa em Jerusalém ouviu dizer que Jesus se ia aproximando.

13 Saíram-lhe ao encontro com ramos de palmas, exclamando: Hosana! Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor, o rei de Israel!

14 Tendo Jesus encontrado um jumentinho, montou nele, segundo o que está escrito:

15 Não temas, filha de Sião, eis que vem o teu rei montado num filho de jumenta {Zc 9,9}.

16 Os seus discípulos a princípio não compreendiam essas coisas, mas, quando Jesus foi glorificado, então se lembraram de que isto estava escrito a seu respeito e de que assim lho fizeram.

17 A multidão, pois, que se achava com ele, quando chamara Lázaro do sepulcro e o ressuscitara, aclamava-o.

18 Por isso o povo lhe saía ao encontro, porque tinha ouvido que Jesus fizera aquele milagre.

19 Mas os fariseus disseram entre si: Vede! Nada adiantamos! Reparai que todo mundo corre após ele!

12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
