John 12:16

Read in context

John 12:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:

15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”

16 At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

17 Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.

18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
