1And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples.2And he said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has yet sat; untie it and bring it."3And if anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?" say, "The Lord needs it, and he will send it back here at once."4And they went and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.5And some of those standing there said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"6And they answered them, "Just as Jesus said," and they let them go.7And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.8And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.9And those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!"10Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!11And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. After looking around at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
