A large number of people
heard that Jesus was in Bethany...
:02:07
so they went there, not only
because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus...
:02:12
whom Jesus had raised from death.
:02:15
So the chief priests made plans
to kill Lazarus, too...
:02:19
because, on his account, many Jews
were rejecting them and believing in Jesus.
:02:27
The next day, the large crowd
that had come to the Passover Festival...
:02:31
heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
:02:34
So they took branches of palm trees
and went out to meet him, shouting:
:02:39
"Praise God! God bless him
who comes in the name of the Lord!
:02:43
"God bless the King of lsrael!"
:02:47
Jesus found a donkey and rode on it,
just as the scripture says:
:02:52
"Do not be afraid, city of Zion!
:02:55
"Here comes your King,
riding on a young donkey. "
:03:13
His disciples did not understand this
at the time...
:03:16
but when Jesus had been raised to glory...
:03:18
they remembered
that the scripture said this about him...
:03:21
and that they had done this for him.
:03:32
The people who had been with Jesus...
:03:34
when he called Lazarus out of the grave
and raised him from death...
:03:38
had reported what had happened.
:03:40
That was why the crowd met him...
:03:42
because they heard
he had performed this miracle.
:03:48
The Pharisees then said to one another:
:03:51
You see, we are not succeeding at all!
:03:54
Look, the whole world is following him!
