JOHN 12:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna!' 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Blessed is the King of Israel!' — the crowd's reception mirrors royal and messianic welcome: palm branches (a symbol of Jewish nationalism and victory), the Hosanna acclamation (a prayer for deliverance based on Psalm 118:25), and the messianic titles ('Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' from Psalm 118:26, and 'King of Israel' the explicit messianic title). The crowd acclaims Jesus as the messianic king.
