11. For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
12. Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13. took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: "Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!"
14. And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
15. "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey."
16. At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.
17. And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
18. Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
19. Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: "Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him."
20. Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
21. Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22. Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23. But Jesus answered them by saying: "The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
24. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
25. it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit. Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life.
26. If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
27. Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
28. Father, glorify your name!" And then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."
