in Me, and some among them went and told the Pharisees, and they got together after that and
held counsel against Me, for they were afraid that they all might believe in Me; moreover,
Caiaphas said on that day that it was better that I die, and he asked that if someone of them
knew where I was to let him know, to catch Me and to bring Me to them.
Oh, how great these memories are; how holy, how worthy to be lived, as six days before
Passover, I came to Bethany and those whom I had loved made a feast for Me, and Lazarus sat
at the table with Me, and Mary had anointed My feet with ointment of pure nard and wiped
them with her hair and everything was filled in that room with the fragrance of the anointment;
however, Judas got upset because of that waste, because he was a thief and used to take from
the churchly purse; he took for himself out of the purse for the poor; however, then I said:
«Mary kept the costly anointment for the day of My burial, not for the poor». (See Mark:
14/6-8; Matt: 26/10-12) Oh, there were many crowds gathered there to see Me and to see the
resurrected Lazarus, and on the second day the crowds gathered at the feast, hearing the news
that I was in Jerusalem and that I resurrected Lazarus, they came to welcome Me with palm
branches and kept shouting: «Hosanna! Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord,
the King of Israel!» (See John: 12/13) However, I was brought a colt of a donkey, and I sat on
it and I came at the feast in Jerusalem and the Lord was glorified on that day, and the disciples
understood what they did not understand that what I had told them at the beginning, but they
saw My greatness after Lazarus’ sickness, his death and then his resurrection, who suffered all
these for My glorification, and many, many crowds glorified Me, who heard of the miracle of
Lazarus’ resurrection. After that, My Golgotha came, My death, as Caiaphas said, and then My
resurrection.
Oh, on that day of the Palm Sunday I said: «If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me.
Where I am there will My servant also be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
“Now My soul is troubled, What shall I say? ‘Father save Me from this time?’ But for this
cause I came to this time. Father glorify Your name!” Then there came a voice out of the
sky, saying: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again». And the multitude therefore,
who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, «An angel has spoken to
Him». And I answered everyone, «This voice hasn’t come for My sake, but for your sakes.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. And if I am
lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself». (See John: 12/26-32)
Oh, with joy and pain I have been speaking on this Sunday about those that happened
two thousand years ago, when the people were gathered at the feast in Jerusalem, and who heard
of the miracle of Lazarus’ resurrection; they took palm branches in their hands and praised Me
saying: «Hosanna! Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!»
(John: 12/13) Oh, on that day the crowds were praising Me, but I was sad, and I spoke with My
Father about My sadness, and the Father answered Me from the cloud about My death and
resurrection, saying: «I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again» (John: 12/28), and My
soul was sad. I remember that I was said, on the time when many crowds were praising Me,
singing Hosanna to Me. I remember everything; I remember everything together with My faith-
ful ones, with My righteous ones, who were as righteous as My three dear friends in Bethany,
who often used to set My table whenever I stopped by them, and there were also many Jews,
who were gathering there to see Me, to hear Me and to understand all those about Me, and for
which I came from the Father on the earth into the midst of Israel.
