John 12:12
Compare all
10 aBut the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also,  
11 abecause on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.  

The Triumphal Entry

12 aThe next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,  
13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
a‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”  
14 aThen Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 
15 “Feara not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, your King is coming,
Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”  
16 aHis disciples did not understand these things at first; bbut when Jesus was glorified, cthen they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.  
17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
18 aFor this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.  
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, a“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”  

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

20 Now there awere certain Greeks among those bwho came up to worship at the feast.  
21 Then they came to Philip, awho was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

John 12:12

On the morrow (th epaurion). Locative case. Supply hmerai (day) after the adverb epaurion ("on the tomorrow day"). That is on our Sunday, Palm Sunday.

A great multitude (o oxlov poluv). Same idiom rendered "the common people" in verse John 12:9 and should be so translated here.

That had come (o elqwn). Second aorist active participle, masculine singular of erxomai agreeing with oxlov, "that came."

When they heard (akousantev). First aorist active masculine plural participle of akouw, construction according to sense (plural, though oxlov singular).

Was coming (erxetai). Present middle indicative of erxomai retained in indirect discourse after a secondary tense. It is a vivid picture. What they heard was: "Jesus is coming into Jerusalem." He is defying the Sanhedrin with all their public advertisement for him.
