Explanation: Seven days before his crucifixion, Jesus entered Jerusalem in what is called the Triumphal Entry, being proclaimed as the Son of David, the King that comes in the name of the Lord, and the King of Israel by the multitude who had seen him raise Lazarus from the dead.

^{Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44; John 12:12:19     Mark 11:1} And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples, ^{Matthew 21:2} Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her [^{Mark 11:}2 whereon never man sat]: loose them, and bring them unto me. ^{Mark 11:3} And if any man say unto you, Why do you this? say you that the Lord has need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. ^{Mark 11:4} And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loosed him. ^{Luke 19:33} And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you the colt? ^{Luke 19:34} And they said, The Lord has need of him. [^{Mark 11:6} And they let them go.] ^{Matthew 21:7} And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. ^{Matthew 21:4} All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, [^{John 12:14} as it is written,] ^{Matthew 21:5} Tell you the daughter of Sion, [^{John 12:15} Fear not,] Behold, your King comes unto you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. ^{Matthew 21:8} [^{John 12:12} On the next day,] a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way. ^{Luke 19:37} And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; ^{Matthew 21:9} And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. ^{Mark 11:10} Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. ^{Luke 19:38} Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ^{John 12:13} Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord. ^{Matthew 21:10} And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? ^{Matthew 21:11} And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. ^{John 12:16} These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. ^{John 12:17} The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore record. ^{John 12:18} For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. ^{John 12:19} The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive you how you prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. ^{Luke 19:39} And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples. ^{Luke 19:40} And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. ^{Luke 19:41} And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, ^{Luke 19:42} Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes. ^{Luke 19:43} For the days shall come upon you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side, ^{Luke 19:44} And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you knew not the time of your visitation. ^{Matthew 21:10} And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? ^{Matthew 21:11} And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. ^{Mark 11:11} And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
