The Triumphal Entry

¹²On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹³took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

¹⁴Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

¹⁵"FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT."

¹⁶These things His disciples did not understand 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.

- John 12:12-16, NASB.

Let us not behave as the Judeans did, welcoming Christ as king on the first of the week, and crucifying Him on the sixth.
