In this study, we explore John’s unique telling of the triumphal entry in chapter 12. Unlike other Gospels, John positions this pivotal moment early, emphasizing Jesus’ move to Jerusalem as a central part of the story. We unpack the significance of Jesus riding a donkey as a humble yet powerful statement of kingship, while reflecting on the crowd’s response, divided between belief and opposition. With connections to Old Testament prophecy and the impact of Lazarus’ resurrection, we see how John draws readers into the bigger story of who Jesus is and what His glorification means.
