Contextual Overview
12 On the next day, a large crowd which had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went out to greet him, and they cried out and said, Hosanna, Blessed is the king of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord. 14 And Jesus found an ass and sat on it; as it is written, 15 Fear not, O daughter of Zion; behold, your king cometh to you, riding on the colt of an ass. 16 His disciples did not understand these things at that time; but when Jesus was glorified, then his disciples remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him. 17 The people who were with him testified that he had called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead. 18 It was on this account that large crowds went out to meet him, for they heard that he had performed this miracle. 19 The Pharisees said one to another, Do you see that you have not been able to gain anything? Behold, all the people have gone after him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Took branches of palm trees,.... The Ethiopic version adds, "and young shoots from Jerusalem"; these grew in great plenty, on one part of the Mount of Olives, that next to Bethany, from whence that town had its name; for it signifies the house of dates, the fruit of the palm tree; :-. And as that tree was a sign of joy and victory, they carried branches of it in their hands, as they met the King Messiah, who was about to make his public entrance into Jerusalem, in triumph; and where by his sufferings and death, he should gain the victory over sin, Satan, the world, and death; and lay a solid foundation for joy and peace, to all that believe in him: the Jews say n,
"if a man takes באיין, (the very Greek word here used,) palm tree branches in his hands, we know that he is victorious.''
The Persic version reads, "branches of olives".
And went forth to meet him, and cried; when they came up to him, and as he passed by them:
Hosanna, blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord; :-.
n Vajikra Rabba, sect. 30. fol. 170. 3.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 12:13. Took branches — Matthew 21:1; Matthew 21:1, &c., and Mark 11:1-6, where this transaction is largely explained.
