On the next day the large crowd that had come to the Passover festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Six days before Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany. Lazarus, whom Jesus had brought back to life, lived there.
Because the crowd heard that Jesus had performed this miracle, they came to meet him.
A large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was in Bethany. So they went there not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had brought back to life.
