The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, awhom He had raised from the dead.
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!”
“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:
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.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
