John 12: 12-19
“On the next day, when the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the King of Israel!’ Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: ‘Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.’ These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things for Him. So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. For this reason also the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!’”
Lord, Jesus, our highest praises we lift up to You today, this Palm Sunday. Blessed are You Who came as a lamb to die and then to be raised as the Holy one, Who was, and is, and is to come! Alleluia and Amen.
