7. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8. For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
9. A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

12. And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13. Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.
14. And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:
15. Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16. These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
