19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!"
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him."
19 The Pharisees took one look and threw up their hands: "It's out of control. The world's in a stampede after him." A Grain of Wheat Must Die
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"
19 Then the Pharisees said to each other, "There's nothing we can do. Look, everyone has gone after him!"

Commentary on John 12:12-19
(Read John 12:12-19)
Christ's riding in triumph to Jerusalem is recorded by all the evangelists. Many excellent things, both in the word and providence of God, disciples do not understand at their first acquaintance with the things of God. The right understanding of spiritual nature of Christ's kingdom, prevents our misapplying the Scriptures which speak of it.
