John 12:12

A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
