After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and having palm branches in their hands;

took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and lodge on its branches.

And a vast multitude spread their garments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and scattered them in the way;

but when sown, it comes up, and becomes the greatest of all plants, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can dwell under its shade.

And many spread their clothes in the way; and others cutting branches from the trees spread them in the way;

It is like a mustard seed which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He that continues in me and I in him, this man bears much fruit; for separated from me, you can do nothing.

And if the first fruit is holy, the mass is also; and if the root is holy, the branches also are.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root and excellence of the olive,

boast not against the branches; but if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you.

You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.

for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.
