John 12:12

James Moffatt - New Testament

Next day the great mass of people who had come up for the festival heard that Jesus was entering Jerusalem,

See the chapter Copy

Six days before the festival, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus stayed (whom Jesus had raised from the dead).

Now the great mass of the Jews learned he was there, and they came not only on account of Jesus but to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.

and that was why the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had performed this Sign.
