1And when they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the mountain of the olive trees, then Jesus sent two disciples2saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied and a colt with it; after untying them, bring them to me."3And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say that their lord has need, and immediately he will send them.4This happened so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, when he said,5Say to the daughter of Zion, "Look, your king is coming to you, gentle and mounted upon a donkey and upon a colt, the son of a donkey."6So the disciples went and did just as Jesus had directed them.7They brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.8The very large crowd spread their own clothing on the road, while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.9The crowds that went before him and those that followed were crying out, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is the one coming in the name of the lord! Hosanna in the highest!"10And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"11And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee."
