T he large crowd who had come to the feast , when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem , took 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 ." Jesus , finding a young donkey , sat on it; as it is written , " FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION ; BEHOLD , YOUR KING IS COMING , SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT ." These 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)
