Compare all
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!”

Barnes' Notes
<< John 12:15   John 12:17 >>


John 12:12-19

See this passage explained in the notes at Mat. 21:1-16. Also Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44.

John 12:16

Was glorified - Was raised from the dead, and had ascended to heaven.

John 12:17

Bare record - Testified that he had raised him, and, as was natural, spread the report through the city. This excited much attention, and the people came out in multitudes to meet one who had power to work such miracles.

John 12:19

Prevail nothing - All your efforts are ineffectual to stop the progress of his opinions, and to prevent the people from believing on him.

The world - As we should say, "Everybody - all the city has gone out." The fact that he met with such success induced them to hasten their design of putting him to death, John 11:53.
