John 12:15

The Triumphal Entry

¹⁴ Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it just as it is written: ¹⁵ “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first. However when Jesus was glorified they remembered the things that were written about him. They also remembered the things that had been done to him.
