* On the next day , a great multitude , who were come to the festival , hearing that Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem , * took branches of palm trees , and went out to meet him , crying , Hosanna ! blessed be Israel 's King , who comes in the name of the Lord . * Now Jesus having found a young ass , was riding on it , agreeably to what is written , * «Fear not , daughter of Zion ; behold your King comes , sitting on an ass 's colt .» * These things the disciples did not understand , at first ; but after Jesus was glorified , they remembered that thus it had been written concerning him , and that thus they had done to him . * And the people who had been present , attested that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb , and raised him from the dead . * It was the rumor that he had wrought this miracle , which made the people crowd to meet him . * The Pharisees , therefore , said among themselves , Are you not sensible that you have no influence ? Behold the world is gone after him .
