16At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
17Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18Many people, because they had heard that he had given this miraculous sign, went out to meet him. 19So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”
The Lenten Carol by Steven Walters
Do you see how he rides through the city gates as a king with hsi head held
high? Do you see in his face any sign or trace that he knows he will soon have
to die? Surely he would of have known in his special way that they sought him to
crucify. Yet he rides unafraid through the sun and shade as "hosanana!" the
people cry.
Do you see how he goes to Gethsemane as the night winds begin to blow?
Do you see him on his knees near the olive trees as he prays for God's true will
to know? There are none who would blame him for staying free of a death so
painful and slow. Yet he knows he must see to his destiny, to his Calvary
He must go.
Do you see how he stands in the judgement hall as a captive with head bowed
low? Do you see how he fails to reply when assailed with blunt questions whose
answers he knows? Could it possibly be that his lot was cast to have failed as
savior and king? Yet we see in his eyes not the least suprise when they say he
must face death's sting.
Do you see how they take him outside of town to the hill to be crucified?
Can you stand there and hear every taunt and jeer? Do you see how he
painfully dies? Yet if all that he said when he walked thsi earth would be
treasured and held as wise. There is no way to doubt that the truth will out,
even now he prepares. even now he prepares, even now he prepares to rise!
Luke 19: 39-40
39Some 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.”
Ain't No Rock Gonna Should for Me by J. Paul Williams
Here comes the Lord ridin on a donkey with people wavign branches and

people dont should, the rocks will cry out! Rocks, keep silent! Jesus comes to
set me free. Rocks, keep silent! I'm gonna shout in victory! Rocks keep silent

Rocks, keep silent! Jesus comes to set me free. Rocks, keep silent! I'm gonna
shout in victory! Rocks keep silent Jesus reigns in majesty. Aint no rock gonna

Aint no rock gonna shout for me. Rocks keep silent! Aint no rock gonna

Here comes the Lord. "Hosanna in the highest!" If the people don't shout, the

silent! I'm gonna shout in victory! Rocks keep silent Jesus reigns in majesty.
Aint no rock gonna shout for me. Aint no rock gonna shout for me. Aint no rock

Matthew 21: 10-16
10When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple 12Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13“It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a ‘den of robbers.’”
14The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. 15But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.
16“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’?”
John 16: 16-22
16“In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”
17Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” 18They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don't understand what he is saying.”
19Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
