Conforming (phase 2), - Jesus enters Jerusalem and the Temple- Concluding the Second Phase (step 21) - session 5

Jn 12:12-19 - This session covers Jesus' entry into Jerusalem from St. John's perspective. One key difference in this version is the prominence of the raising of Lazarus as a motivation among the crowd praising Jesus. Another related one is how the concern of the Pharisees, already worried because of Jesus' popularity following his raising of Lazarus, is now confirmed by how the crowd welcomes him to the city. John alone of the gospel writers makes mention of Lazarus being raised from the dead, so he is the only one to tie the events of Jesus' entry and the plot against him to this miracle.
