John 12:15

The Triumphal Entry

¹⁴ Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written: ¹⁵ Fear no more, Daughter Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt. ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
