Palm Sunday Procession on the Mount of Olives
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 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!"
John 12:12-13
36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 "Blessed is the king
who comes in the name of the Lord!""Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
39
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke
your disciples!" 40 "I tell you," he
replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Luke 19:36-40
