John 12:7-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.”
