Those who had been raised from the dead by the life-giving voice of the Saviour were there. And Lazarus, whose body had seen corruption in the grave, but who was now enjoying the strength of glorious 85 manhood, was with the happy throng that escorted the Saviour to Jerusalem. As new numbers were added to the throng, they caught the inspiration of the hour, and joined in the shouts that echoed and re-echoed from hill to hill and from valley to valley:

I den store skare, som trængtes om Frelseren, sås beviser på hans undergørende kraft. De blinde, som han havde gengivet synet, gik i spidsen. De stumme, hvis tunger han havde løst, råbte højest hosianna. De vanføre, han havde helbredt, sprang af glæde og var de ivrigste til at bryde palmegrene af og svinge dem foran ham. Enker og faderløse priste Jesu navn for hans barmhjertighed imod dem. De spedalske stakler, som han havde renset ved et ord, udbredte deres klæder på vejen.
