The Triumphal Entry
1
Now a when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at b 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 c 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
d So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
7
They brought the donkey and the colt, e laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.
8
And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; f others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
g ' Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'
Hosanna in the highest!"
10
h And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?"
11
So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, i the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
