CHRIST'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM. (Joh 12:12-19)
On the next day--the Lord's day, or Sunday (see on Joh 12:1); the tenth day of the Jewish month Nisan, on which the paschal lamb was set apart to be "kept up until the fourteenth day of the same month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel were to kill it in the evening" (Exo 12:3, Exo 12:6). Even so, from the day of this solemn entry into Jerusalem, "Christ our Passover" was virtually set apart to be "sacrificed for us" (Co1 5:7). |

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.
Joh 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, Joh 11:53. |

7 Purge out [1571] therefore [3767] the old [3820] leaven [2219], that [2443] ye may be [5600] a new [3501] lump [5445], as [2531] ye are [2075] unleavened [106]. For [1063] even [2532] Christ [5547] our [2257] passover [3957] is sacrificed [2380] for [5228] us [2257]:
6 And ye shall keep [04931] it up until the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the same month [02320]: and the whole [03605] assembly [06951] of the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] shall kill [07819] it in [0996] the evening [06153].
3 Speak [01696] ye unto all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], In the tenth [06218] day of this month [02320] they shall take [03947] to them every man [0376] a lamb [07716], according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], a lamb [07716] for an house [01004]:
1 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] six [1803] days [2250] before [4253] the passover [3957] came [2064] to [1519] Bethany [963], where [3699] Lazarus [2976] was [2258] which [3588] had been dead [2348], whom [3739] he raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498].
12 On the next day [1887] much [4183] people [3793] that were come [2064] to [1519] the feast [1859], when they heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was coming [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414],
13 Took [2983] branches [902] of palm trees [5404], and [2532] went forth [1831] to [1519] meet [5222] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896], Hosanna [5614]: Blessed [2127] is the King [935] of Israel [2474] that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962].
14 And [1161] Jesus [2424], when he had found [2147] a young ass [3678], sat [2523] thereon [1909] [846]; as [2531] it is [2076] written [1125],
15 Fear [5399] not [3361], daughter [2364] of Sion [4622]: behold [2400], thy [4675] King [935] cometh [2064], sitting [2521] on [1909] an ass's [3688] colt [4454].
16 [1161] These things [5023] understood [1097] not [3756] his [846] disciples [3101] at the first [4412]: but [235] when [3753] Jesus [2424] was glorified [1392], then [5119] remembered they [3415] that [3754] these things [5023] were [2258] written [1125] of [1909] him [846], and [2532] that they had done [4160] these things [5023] unto him [846].
17 The people [3793] therefore [3767] that was [5607] with [3326] him [846] when [3753] he called [5455] Lazarus [2976] out of [1537] his grave [3419], and [2532] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], bare record [3140].
18 For this [5124] cause [1223] the people [3793] also [2532] met [5221] him [846], for that [3754] they heard [191] that [846] he had done [4160] this [5124] miracle [4592].
19 The Pharisees [5330] therefore [3767] said [2036] among [4314] themselves [1438], Perceive ye [2334] how [3754] ye prevail [5623] nothing [3756] [3762]? behold [2396], the world [2889] is gone [565] after [3694] him [846].
53 Then [3767] from [575] that [1565] day [2250] forth they took counsel together [4823] for to [2443] put [615] him [846] to death [615].
19 The Pharisees [5330] therefore [3767] said [2036] among [4314] themselves [1438], Perceive ye [2334] how [3754] ye prevail [5623] nothing [3756] [3762]? behold [2396], the world [2889] is gone [565] after [3694] him [846].
17 The people [3793] therefore [3767] that was [5607] with [3326] him [846] when [3753] he called [5455] Lazarus [2976] out of [1537] his grave [3419], and [2532] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], bare record [3140].
16 [1161] These things [5023] understood [1097] not [3756] his [846] disciples [3101] at the first [4412]: but [235] when [3753] Jesus [2424] was glorified [1392], then [5119] remembered they [3415] that [3754] these things [5023] were [2258] written [1125] of [1909] him [846], and [2532] that they had done [4160] these things [5023] unto him [846].
1 And [2532] when [3753] they came nigh [1448] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], unto [1519] Bethphage [967] and [2532] Bethany [963], at [4314] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], he sendeth forth [649] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101],
2 And [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Go your way [5217] into [1519] the village [2968] over against [2713] you [5216]: and [2532] as soon as [2112] ye be entered [1531] into [1519] it [846], ye shall find [2147] a colt [4454] tied [1210], whereon [1909] [3739] never [3762] man [444] sat [2523]; loose [3089] him [846], and bring [71] him.
3 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] say [2036] unto you [5213], Why [5101] do ye [4160] this [5124]? say ye [2036] that [3754] the Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of him [846]; and [2532] straightway [2112] he will send [649] him [846] hither [5602].
4 And [1161] they went their way [565], and [2532] found [2147] the colt [4454] tied [1210] by [4314] the door [2374] without [1854] in [1909] a place where two ways met [296]; and [2532] they loose [3089] him [846].
5 And [2532] certain of them [5100] that stood [2476] there [1563] said [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] do ye [4160], loosing [3089] the colt [4454]?
6 And [1161] they said [2036] unto them [846] even as [2531] Jesus [2424] had commanded [1781]: and [2532] they let [863] them [846] go [863].
7 And [2532] they brought [71] the colt [4454] to [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] cast [1911] their [846] garments [2440] on [1911] him [846]; and [2532] he sat [2523] upon [1909] him [846].
8 And [1161] many [4183] spread [4766] their [846] garments [2440] in [1519] the way [3598]: and [1161] others [243] cut down [2875] branches [4746] off [1537] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1519] the way [3598].
9 And [2532] they that went before [4254], and [2532] they that followed [190], cried [2896], saying [3004], Hosanna [5614]; Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]:
10 Blessed [2127] be the kingdom [932] of our [2257] father [3962] David [1138], that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]: Hosanna [5614] in [1722] the highest [5310].
11 And [2532] Jesus [2424] entered [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] into [1519] the temple [2411]: and [2532] when he had looked round about upon [4017] all things [3956], and now [2235] the eventide [3798] [5610] was come [5607], he went out [1831] unto [1519] Bethany [963] with [3326] the twelve [1427].
4 All [1161] [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004],
8 And [1161] a very great [4118] multitude [3793] spread [4766] their [1438] garments [2440] in [1722] the way [3598]; others [1161] [243] cut down [2875] branches [2798] from [575] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1722] the way [3598].
