The Story of Palm Sunday
Mark 14:3-9
The Anointing at Bethany
Mt 26:6-13; Jn 12:1-8
3 (Mt 21:17; Lk 7:37-39) While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon
the leper, as He sat at supper, a woman came with an alabaster jar
of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured
the ointment on His head.
4 There were some with indignation within themselves, saying,
"Why was this ointment wasted?
5 (Jn 13:29) It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii
(A year's wages.) and given to the poor." And they grumbled against her.
6 Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done
a good work for Me.
7 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) You always have the poor with you, and whenever
you wish, you may do good to them. But you will not always have Me.
8 (2Co 8:12) She has done what she could. She has come beforehand
to anoint My body for burial.
9 (Mk 16:15) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel will be preached
throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of
as a memorial to her."
[3] And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat,
there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
[4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said,
Why was this waste of the ointment made?
[5] For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have
been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
[6] And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a
good work on me.
[7] For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do
them good: but me ye have not always.
[8] She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to
the burying.
[9] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached
throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of
for a memorial of her.
Matthew 26:6-13
The Anointing at Bethany
Mk 14:3-9; Jn 12:1-8
6 (Mt 21:17) When Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment
and poured it on His head as He sat at supper.
8 When His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "For what purpose
is this waste?
9 This ointment might have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."
10 When Jesus perceived it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman?
She has done a good work for Me.
11 (Dt 15:11; Mk 14:7) For you have the poor always with you,
but you do not always have Me.
12 In pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.
13 (Mt 24:14; Mk 14:9) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall
be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told
in memory of her."
[6] Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
[7] There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious
ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
[8] But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what
purpose is this waste?
[9] For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
[10] When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
[11] For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
[12] For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my
burial.
[13] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the
whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a
memorial of her.
John 12:1-11
John 12
The Anointing at Bethany
Mt 26:6-13; Mk 14:3-9
1 (Jn 11:55; Mt 21:17) Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 (Lk 10:38-42) They prepared a supper for Him there. Martha served,
but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 (Jn 11:2; Lk 7:37-38) Then Mary took a pint
(Gk. a litra, or half a liter.) of very costly ointment made
from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet
with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 (Mt 10:4) But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
who would betray Him, said,
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii
(About a year's wages.) and given to the poor?"
6 (Jn 13:29) He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because
he was a thief. And having the money box, he used to steal what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of My
burial.
8 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) For you always have the poor with you,
but you do not always have Me."
[1] Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus
was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
[2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of
them that sat at the table with him.
[3] Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and
anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house
was filled with the odour of the ointment.
[4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray him,
[5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the
poor?
[6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
[7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she
kept this.
[8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
The Plot Against Lazarus
9 When many of the Jews learned that He was there, they came, not for Jesus'
sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from
the dead.
10 (Lk 16:31) So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also,
11 (Jn 11:45; 12:18) because on account of him many of the Jews went away
and believed in Jesus.
[9] Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came
not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had
raised from the dead.
[10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to
death;
[11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed
on Jesus.
Mark 11:1-11
Mark 11
The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Lk 19:28-40; Jn 12:12-19
1 (Zec 14:4; Mt 21:17) When they drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage
and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples
2 and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you. As soon as you enter
it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it
and bring it here.
3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say 'The Lord has need
of it,' and immediately he will send it here."
4 They went their way and found the colt tied by the door outside
on the street. And they untied it.
5 Some of those who stood there said to them,
"What are you doing untying the colt?"
6 They answered just as Jesus had commanded. And they let them go.
7 (Mt 21:4-5; 21:7-8) They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments
on it. And He sat upon it.
8 Many spread their garments on the street. And others cut down branches off
the trees and scattered them on the street.
9 (Ps 118:25-26; Mt 23:39) Those who went before
and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)
10 (Lk 2:14; Ps 148:1) Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
that is coming in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!"
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. When He had looked
around at everything, as the hour was now late,
He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
[1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
[2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and
as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never
man sat; loose him, and bring him.
[3] And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath
need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
[4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in
a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
[5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing
the colt?
[6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them
go.
[7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and
he sat upon him.
[8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
[9] And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
[10] Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of
the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
[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.
Matthew 21:1-11
The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem
Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-38; Jn 12:12-19
1 (Mt 24:3; 26:30) When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage,
on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, "Go over into the village opposite you,
and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.
Untie them and bring them to Me.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them.'
And he will send them immediately."
4 (Mt 1:22; Jn 12:15) All this was done to fulfill
what was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 (Isa 62:11; Ge 49:10) "Tell the daughter of Zion,
'Look, your King is coming to you,
humble, and sitting on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'Zec 9:9."
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their garments on them,
and He sat on them.
8 (2Ki 9:13) A very large crowd spread their garments on the road.
Others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 (Lk 2:14; Mt 23:39) The crowds that went before Him
and that followed Him cried out:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' (Ps 118:26.)
Hosanna in the highest!"
10 When He entered Jerusalem, the entire city was moved,
saying, "Who is He?"
11 (Lk 7:16; Jn 6:14) The crowds said, "This is Jesus,
the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
In Jerusalem
Triumphal Entry
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto
the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway
ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them
unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and sitting upon an ass,
And a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes,
and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Luke 19:28-40
The Triumphant Entry in Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Jn 12:12-19
28 (Lk 9:51) When He had said this, He went before them,
ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 (Ac 1:12; Zec 14:4) When He came near to Bethphage and Bethany,
at the mountain called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
30 saying, "Go over into the village opposite you, where, as you enter,
you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat.
Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say to him,
'Because the Lord has need of it.' "
32 Those who were sent went and found it just as He had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,
"Why are you untying the colt?"
34 They said, "The Lord has need of it."
35 (Mt 21:7; Mk 11:7-8) They brought it to Jesus. And they threw
their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 As He went, they spread their clothes in the street.
37 When He was coming near the descent of the Mount of Olives,
the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice
and praise God with loud voices for all the mighty works that they had seen,
38 (Lk 13:35; Mt 21:9) saying:
'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him,
"Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."
40 (Hab 2:11) He answered them, "I tell you, if these should be silent,
the stones would immediately cry out."
[28] And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
[29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
[30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your
entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him,
and bring him hither.
[31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto
him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
[32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said
unto them.
[33] And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them,
Why loose ye the colt?
[34] And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
[35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the
colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
[36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
[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;
[38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest.
[39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
[40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should
hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
John 12:12-19
The Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-40
12 On the next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 (Jn 1:49; Ps 118:25-26) They took branches of palm trees,
and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
"Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!(Ps 118:25-26.)
The King of Israel!"
14 Then Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written:
15 (Zec 9:9) “Fear not, daughter of Zion;
see, your King is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt." (Zec 9:9).
16 (Jn 2:22; 7:39) His disciples did not understand these things at first.
But when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things
were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Now the crowd that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb
and raised him from the dead bore witness.
18 (Jn 12:11) The crowd went and met Him for this reason: They heard that
He had performed this sign.
19 (Jn 3:26) So the Pharisees said among themselves, "See, you are gaining
nothing! Look, the world has followed Him!"
[12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they
heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
[13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,
Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
[14] And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is
written,
[15] Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an
ass's colt.
[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.
[17] The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of
his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
[18] For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had
done this miracle.
[19] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Luke 19:41-44
41 (Lk 13:34-35; Jn 11:35) When He came near, He beheld the city
and wept over it,
42 (Dt 32:29) saying, "If you, even you, had known even today what things
would bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 (Eze 4:2; 26:8) For the days will come upon you when your enemies
will build an embankment around you and surround you,
and press you in on every side.
44 (Lk 21:6; 1Pe 2:12) They will dash you, and your children within you,
to the ground. They will not leave one stone upon another within you,
because you did not know the time of your visitation."
[41] And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
[42] Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the
things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
[43] For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
[44] And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee;
and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou
knewest not the time of thy visitation.
John 12:20-36
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 (Jn 7:35; 1Ki 8:41-43) Now there were some Greeks among those who went
up to worship at the feast.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him,
"Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 (Jn 13:31-32) Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man
to be glorified.
24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 (Mt 10:39; Lk 14:26) He who loves his life will lose it.
And he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 (Jn 14:3; 17:24) If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me. Where I am,
there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast:
[21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall
also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (Lk 22:53; Jn 13:21) "Now My soul is troubled. What shall I say?
'Father, save Me from this hour'? Instead, for this reason I came
to this hour.
28 (Mt 3:17; 17:5) Father, glorify Your name."
Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have glorified it, and will glorify
it again."
29 The crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered.
Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."
30 (Jn 11:42) Jesus answered, "This voice came not for My sake,
but for your sakes.
31 (Jn 14:30; 2Co 4:4; Eph 6:12) Now judgment is upon this world.
Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 (Jn 6:44; 3:14; 8:28) And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw
all men to Myself."
33 (Jn 18:32; 21:19) He said this to signify by what kind of death
He would die.
34 (Ps 110:4; Isa 9:7) The crowd answered Him, "We have heard from the law
that the Christ remains forever. Why do You say, 'The Son of Man must be
lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 (Jn 12:46; Eph 5:8) Then Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while the light
is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you.
He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 (Lk 16:8; Jn 8:59) While you have light, believe in the light that
you may become sons of light." Jesus said these things, and departed
and hid Himself from them.
[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast:
[21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall
also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
The Anointing at Bethany
Mt 26:6-13; Jn 12:1-8
3 (Mt 21:17; Lk 7:37-39) While He was in Bethany in the house of Simon
the leper, as He sat at supper, a woman came with an alabaster jar
of ointment, a very costly spikenard. She broke the jar and poured
the ointment on His head.
4 There were some with indignation within themselves, saying,
"Why was this ointment wasted?
5 (Jn 13:29) It might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii
(A year's wages.) and given to the poor." And they grumbled against her.
6 Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done
a good work for Me.
7 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) You always have the poor with you, and whenever
you wish, you may do good to them. But you will not always have Me.
8 (2Co 8:12) She has done what she could. She has come beforehand
to anoint My body for burial.
9 (Mk 16:15) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel will be preached
throughout the whole world, what she has done will also be spoken of
as a memorial to her."
[3] And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat,
there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
[4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said,
Why was this waste of the ointment made?
[5] For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have
been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
[6] And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a
good work on me.
[7] For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do
them good: but me ye have not always.
[8] She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to
the burying.
[9] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached
throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of
for a memorial of her.
Matthew 26:6-13
The Anointing at Bethany
Mk 14:3-9; Jn 12:1-8
6 (Mt 21:17) When Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment
and poured it on His head as He sat at supper.
8 When His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "For what purpose
is this waste?
9 This ointment might have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."
10 When Jesus perceived it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman?
She has done a good work for Me.
11 (Dt 15:11; Mk 14:7) For you have the poor always with you,
but you do not always have Me.
12 In pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.
13 (Mt 24:14; Mk 14:9) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall
be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told
in memory of her."
[6] Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
[7] There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious
ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
[8] But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what
purpose is this waste?
[9] For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
[10] When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
[11] For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
[12] For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my
burial.
[13] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the
whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a
memorial of her.

1 (Jn 11:55; Mt 21:17) Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 (Lk 10:38-42) They prepared a supper for Him there. Martha served,
but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3 (Jn 11:2; Lk 7:37-38) Then Mary took a pint
(Gk. a litra, or half a liter.) of very costly ointment made
from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet
with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 (Mt 10:4) But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
who would betray Him, said,
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii
(About a year's wages.) and given to the poor?"
6 (Jn 13:29) He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because
he was a thief. And having the money box, he used to steal what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of My
burial.
8 (Dt 15:11; Mt 26:11) For you always have the poor with you,
but you do not always have Me."
[1] Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus
was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
[2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of
them that sat at the table with him.
[3] Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and
anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house
was filled with the odour of the ointment.
[4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray him,
[5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the
poor?
[6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
[7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she
kept this.
[8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
The Plot Against Lazarus
9 When many of the Jews learned that He was there, they came, not for Jesus'
sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from
the dead.
10 (Lk 16:31) So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also,
11 (Jn 11:45; 12:18) because on account of him many of the Jews went away
and believed in Jesus.
[9] Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came
not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had
raised from the dead.
[10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to
death;
[11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed
on Jesus.
Mark 11:1-11
Mark 11
The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Lk 19:28-40; Jn 12:12-19
1 (Zec 14:4; Mt 21:17) When they drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage
and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples
2 and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you. As soon as you enter
it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it
and bring it here.
3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say 'The Lord has need
of it,' and immediately he will send it here."
4 They went their way and found the colt tied by the door outside
on the street. And they untied it.
5 Some of those who stood there said to them,
"What are you doing untying the colt?"
6 They answered just as Jesus had commanded. And they let them go.
7 (Mt 21:4-5; 21:7-8) They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments
on it. And He sat upon it.
8 Many spread their garments on the street. And others cut down branches off
the trees and scattered them on the street.
9 (Ps 118:25-26; Mt 23:39) Those who went before
and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)
10 (Lk 2:14; Ps 148:1) Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
that is coming in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!"
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. When He had looked
around at everything, as the hour was now late,
He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
[1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
[2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and
as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never
man sat; loose him, and bring him.
[3] And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath
need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
[4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in
a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
[5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing
the colt?
[6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them
go.
[7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and
he sat upon him.
[8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
[9] And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
[10] Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of
the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
[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.
Matthew 21:1-11
The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem
Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-38; Jn 12:12-19
1 (Mt 24:3; 26:30) When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage,
on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, "Go over into the village opposite you,
and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.
Untie them and bring them to Me.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them.'
And he will send them immediately."
4 (Mt 1:22; Jn 12:15) All this was done to fulfill
what was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 (Isa 62:11; Ge 49:10) "Tell the daughter of Zion,
'Look, your King is coming to you,
humble, and sitting on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'Zec 9:9."
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their garments on them,
and He sat on them.
8 (2Ki 9:13) A very large crowd spread their garments on the road.
Others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 (Lk 2:14; Mt 23:39) The crowds that went before Him
and that followed Him cried out:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' (Ps 118:26.)
Hosanna in the highest!"
10 When He entered Jerusalem, the entire city was moved,
saying, "Who is He?"
11 (Lk 7:16; Jn 6:14) The crowds said, "This is Jesus,
the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
In Jerusalem
Triumphal Entry
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto
the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway
ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them
unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of
them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and sitting upon an ass,
And a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes,
and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Luke 19:28-40
The Triumphant Entry in Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Jn 12:12-19
28 (Lk 9:51) When He had said this, He went before them,
ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 (Ac 1:12; Zec 14:4) When He came near to Bethphage and Bethany,
at the mountain called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
30 saying, "Go over into the village opposite you, where, as you enter,
you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat.
Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say to him,
'Because the Lord has need of it.' "
32 Those who were sent went and found it just as He had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,
"Why are you untying the colt?"
34 They said, "The Lord has need of it."
35 (Mt 21:7; Mk 11:7-8) They brought it to Jesus. And they threw
their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 As He went, they spread their clothes in the street.
37 When He was coming near the descent of the Mount of Olives,
the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice
and praise God with loud voices for all the mighty works that they had seen,
38 (Lk 13:35; Mt 21:9) saying:
'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him,
"Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."
40 (Hab 2:11) He answered them, "I tell you, if these should be silent,
the stones would immediately cry out."
[28] And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
[29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
[30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your
entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him,
and bring him hither.
[31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto
him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
[32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said
unto them.
[33] And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them,
Why loose ye the colt?
[34] And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
[35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the
colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
[36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
[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;
[38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest.
[39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
[40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should
hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
John 12:12-19
The Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem
Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-40
12 On the next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 (Jn 1:49; Ps 118:25-26) They took branches of palm trees,
and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
"Hosanna!
'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!(Ps 118:25-26.)
The King of Israel!"
14 Then Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written:
15 (Zec 9:9) “Fear not, daughter of Zion;
see, your King is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt." (Zec 9:9).
16 (Jn 2:22; 7:39) His disciples did not understand these things at first.
But when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things
were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Now the crowd that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb
and raised him from the dead bore witness.
18 (Jn 12:11) The crowd went and met Him for this reason: They heard that
He had performed this sign.
19 (Jn 3:26) So the Pharisees said among themselves, "See, you are gaining
nothing! Look, the world has followed Him!"
[12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they
heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
[13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,
Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
[14] And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is
written,
[15] Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an
ass's colt.
[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.
[17] The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of
his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
[18] For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had
done this miracle.
[19] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Luke 19:41-44
41 (Lk 13:34-35; Jn 11:35) When He came near, He beheld the city
and wept over it,
42 (Dt 32:29) saying, "If you, even you, had known even today what things
would bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 (Eze 4:2; 26:8) For the days will come upon you when your enemies
will build an embankment around you and surround you,
and press you in on every side.
44 (Lk 21:6; 1Pe 2:12) They will dash you, and your children within you,
to the ground. They will not leave one stone upon another within you,
because you did not know the time of your visitation."
[41] And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
[42] Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the
things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
[43] For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
[44] And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee;
and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou
knewest not the time of thy visitation.
John 12:20-36
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 (Jn 7:35; 1Ki 8:41-43) Now there were some Greeks among those who went
up to worship at the feast.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him,
"Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 (Jn 13:31-32) Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man
to be glorified.
24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 (Mt 10:39; Lk 14:26) He who loves his life will lose it.
And he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 (Jn 14:3; 17:24) If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me. Where I am,
there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast:
[21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall
also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (Lk 22:53; Jn 13:21) "Now My soul is troubled. What shall I say?
'Father, save Me from this hour'? Instead, for this reason I came
to this hour.
28 (Mt 3:17; 17:5) Father, glorify Your name."
Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have glorified it, and will glorify
it again."
29 The crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered.
Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."
30 (Jn 11:42) Jesus answered, "This voice came not for My sake,
but for your sakes.
31 (Jn 14:30; 2Co 4:4; Eph 6:12) Now judgment is upon this world.
Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 (Jn 6:44; 3:14; 8:28) And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw
all men to Myself."
33 (Jn 18:32; 21:19) He said this to signify by what kind of death
He would die.
34 (Ps 110:4; Isa 9:7) The crowd answered Him, "We have heard from the law
that the Christ remains forever. Why do You say, 'The Son of Man must be
lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 (Jn 12:46; Eph 5:8) Then Jesus said to them, "Yet a little while the light
is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you.
He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 (Lk 16:8; Jn 8:59) While you have light, believe in the light that
you may become sons of light." Jesus said these things, and departed
and hid Himself from them.
[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast:
[21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
[22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man
should be glorified.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall
also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
