John 12:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Jesus rode along on a young donkey, fulfilling the prophecy that said: ¹⁵ “Don’t be afraid of your King, people of Israel, for he will come to you meekly, sitting on a donkey’s colt!”

¹⁶ (His disciples didn’t realize at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy; but after Jesus returned to his glory in heaven, then they noticed how many prophecies of Scripture had come true before their eyes.)
