6. He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions.
7. So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial.
8. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
9. [The] large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10. And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
11. because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.
12. On the next day, when the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13. they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out:“Hosanna!Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,[even] the king of Israel.”
14. Jesus found an ass and sat upon it, as is written:
15. “Fear no more, O daughter Zion;see, your king comes, seated upon an ass’s colt.”
16. His disciples did not understand this at first, but when Jesus had been glorified they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done this for him.
17. So the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from death continued to testify.
18. This was [also] why the crowd went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19. So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him.”
20. Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.
21. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
