9. A large crowd of people heard that Jesus was in Bethany. So they went there to see not only Jesus but Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
10. So the leading priests made plans to kill Lazarus, too.
11. Because of Lazarus many of the Jews were leaving them and believing in Jesus.
12. The next day a great crowd who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast heard that Jesus was coming there.
13. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Jesus, shouting,“Praise God!God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord!God bless the King of Israel!”
14. Jesus found a colt and sat on it. This was as the Scripture says,
15. “Don’t be afraid, people of Jerusalem!Your king is coming,sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
