SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:18
Por lo cual también había venido la multitud a recibirle, porque habían oído que él había hecho esta señal;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. For this cause the people also met him , etc.] This was a principal reason, among others, which induced them to set out in the manner they did, with palm tree branches in their hands, and accost him as the king of Israel, when they met him, and hosanna’d him into the city: for that they heard that he had done this miracle ; the witnesses were so many, and the proofs they gave so strong, that they firmly believed it: and this being a most amazing miracle, and which exceeded even any of the same kind; Jairus’s daughter was but just dead, and the widow of Nain’s son was not buried, when they were raised, but Lazarus had been dead and buried four days; it made a very strong impression upon the minds of the people, and engaged their attention to him, and belief in him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - Christ's riding in triumph to Jerusalem is recorded by all the evangelists. Many excellent things, both in the word and providence of God, disciples do not understand at their first acquaintance with the things of God. The right understanding of spiritual nature of Christ' kingdom, prevents our misapplying the Scriptures which speak of it.
