And, as for the poor, you always have them to care for, but
you will not always have me.
Many of the Jews knew that He was there. But they did not come for
Jesus' sake only, but also to see Lazarus whom He had raised from the
dead. The chief priests considered putting Lazarus to death also
because he was the reason many of the Jews left and believed in Jesus.
The next day, many people who had come for the feast heard that Jesus
was coming to Jerusalem. They took branches of palm trees and went to
meet Him. They cried, Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel that comes
in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when He had found a young colt, sat
upon it; for it is written: Fear not, daughter of Sion. Behold, thy
King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.
His disciples did not at first understand this. But when Jesus was
glorified, they remembered that these things were written about Him and
that they had done these things to Him. The people who were with Him
when He called Lazarus from his grave and raised him from the dead,
bore record. Other people went to see Him because they heard He had
done this miracle. The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, Do
you see that we do not prevail? Look, the whole world is gone after Him.
There were certain Greeks among those who came to worship at the feast.
Some of them went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and
asked him if they could meet Jesus.
