Numbers 15:37-41 and John 12:12-19 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 15:37-41
RULES ABOUT TASSELS
37  Then the Lord said to Moses,
38  “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: Throughout the generations to come you must make tassels for the hems of your clothing and attach them with a blue cord.
39  When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.
40  The tassels will help you remember that you must obey all my commands and be holy to your God.
41  I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God. I am the Lord your God!”

JOHN 12:12-19
Jesus’ Triumphant Entry
12  The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors
13  took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, “Praise God!  Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!  Hail to the King of Israel!”
14  Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said:
15  “Don’t be afraid, people of Jerusalem.  Look, your King is coming, riding on a donkey’s colt.”
16  His disciples didn’t understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
17  Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb, raising him from the dead, and they were telling others about it.
18  That was the reason so many went out to meet him—because they had heard about this miraculous sign.
19  Then the Pharisees said to each other, “There’s nothing we can do. Look, everyone has gone after him!”
