John 12:16

14 ^aThen Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

15 “Fear^a 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.”

Then remembered they, etc. - After the ascension of Christ, the disciples saw the meaning of many prophecies which referred to Christ, and applied them to him, which they had not fully comprehended before. Indeed it is only in the light of the new covenant, that the old is to be fully understood.
