12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, 15 "Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt." 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

12 第二天， 有一大群上来过节的人， 听见耶稣要来耶路撒冷，

13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他， 欢呼说： "和散那， 奉主名来的以色列王， 是应当称颂的！ "

14 耶稣找到一头小驴， 就骑在上面， 正如经上所记的：

15 "锡安的居民哪， 不要惧怕； 看哪， 你的王来了， 他骑着小驴来了。"

16 门徒起初不明白这些事， 可是到耶稣得了荣耀以后， 他们才想起这些话是指着他说的， 并且人们果然向他这样行了。

17 那些和耶稣在一起， 看见他叫拉撒路从坟墓出来， 又使他从死人中复活的群众， 都为这事作见证。

18 群众因为听见他行了这神迹， 就去迎接他。

19 于是法利赛人彼此说： "你们看， 你们都是徒劳无功， 世人都去跟随他了！ "
