"'Die?' asked the crowd.
We understood that the Messiah would live forever and never die.
Why are you saying He will die?
What Messiah are you talking about?'"

~ John 12:34 LAB

*
Bible Commentary:  "The crowd could not believe the Messiah would die. They were waving palm branches for a victorious Messiah who they thought would set up a political, earthly kingdom, that would never end. From their reading of certain scriptural passages, they thought the Messiah would never die. Jesus' words did not fit their concept of the Messiah. First He had to suffer and die -- then He would one day set up his eternal Kingdom. For what kind of Messiah, or Savior, are we looking? We need to beware of trying to force Jesus into our own mold. He won't fit!!
