14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion.
See, your King is coming,
seated on the colt of a donkey.”
16At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
