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.

John 12:12-16

John adds that He who comes in the name of the Lord is the King of Israel, a different title. He also notes that His disciples did not understand what had happened until after Jesus was glorified. What they failed to understand at this point in time was the spiritual significance of all Jerusalem proclaiming Jesus as Messiah.

They did not make the connection. They were still thinking physically of Jesus coming as a physical king. But He was being shown here by this wonderful ovation from the people, these loud noises, that He was Messiah, that He was King, and that He was God.

Their acclamation pointed to something far greater and grander than the coming of a physical king. This they did not get until later. What John is pointing us to is that they had to learn to think of Christ's royal authority and sovereignty in the sense shown later in the New Testament and in the prophecies of Revelation, that this One who was proclaimed King is King over all.
