1
Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2
saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.
3
And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."
4
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5
"Tell the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.' "
6
So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7
They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.
8
And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
