John 12:12-16 On the next day a large crowd that had come to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival heard that Jesus also was coming to Jerusalem.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² On the next day a large crowd that had come [to Jerusalem] for the Passover Festival heard that Jesus [also] was coming to Jerusalem. ¹³ [So], they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting, “Hosanna [Note: See Matt. 21:9 for the meaning of this word], may He, the King of Israel, be praised, for He comes in the name [i.e., by the authority] of the Lord!” ¹⁴ Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written [Zech. 9:9], ¹⁵ “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion [i.e., people of Jerusalem]. Look, the King is coming [to you]; He [will be] riding on a donkey’s colt.” ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first, but after Jesus received splendor [in heaven], then they remembered that these things had been written about Him [in Scripture] and that people had done such things to Him.
