1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them: Go into the village opposite to you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me. 3 And if any one say any thing to you, you shall reply: The Lord has need of them: and he will immediately send them. 4 All this was done, that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: 5 Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them; 7 and brought the ass and the colt, and put their mantles on them, and caused him to sit upon them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their mantles in the road: and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the road. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed after, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, all the city was moved, and said: Who is this? Matthew 21:1-10, Anderson New Testament.
