Contextual Overview
12The next day, when the large crowd who had come to the Passover feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13they took branches of palm trees [in homage to Him as King] and went out to meet Him, and they began shouting and kept shouting "Hosanna! BLESSED (celebrated, praised) IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel!" 14And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; just as it is written [in Scripture],15"DO NOT FEAR, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT." 16His disciples did not understand [the meaning of] these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified and exalted, they remembered that these things had been written about Him and had been done to Him. 17So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to tell others about Him. 18For this reason the crowd went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this [miraculous] sign. 19Then the Pharisees [argued and] said to one another, "You see that your efforts are futile. Look! The whole world has gone [running] after Him!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass,.... Which he sent his disciples for, to a neighbouring village, and they brought to him:
sat thereon, as it is written; in Zechariah 9:9 though some part of the words seems to be taken out of Isaiah 62:11;
Isaiah 62:11- :; and so Nonnus paraphrases it here, "that it might be fulfilled which Esaias said".
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 21:1-16. Also Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-44.
John 12:16
Was glorified - Was raised from the dead, and had ascended to heaven.
John 12:17
Bare record - Testified that he had raised him, and, as was natural, spread the report through the city. This excited much attention, and the people came out in multitudes to meet one who had power to work such miracles.
John 12:19
Prevail nothing - All your efforts are ineffectual to stop the progress of his opinions, and to prevent the people from believing on him.
The world - As we should say, “Everybody - all the city has gone out.” The fact that he met with such success induced them to hasten their design of putting him to death, John 11:53.
