1 Now whan they drew nye vnto Ierusalem, and were come to Bethphage vnto mount Oliuete, Iesus sent two of his disciples,

2 and sayde vnto them: Go in to the towne that lyeth before you, & anone ye shal fynde an Asse bounde, and hir foale with her: lowse them, and brynge the vnto me.

3 And yf eny man saye ought vnto you, saye ye: the LORDE hath nede of the, And straight waye he wil let them go.

4 But all this was done, that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, sayenge:

5 Tell the doughter of Sion: beholde, thy kynge commeth vnto ye meke, syttinge vpon an Asse and a foale of ye Asse vsed to the yocke.

6 The disciples wente, and dyd as Iesus commaunded them,

7 and brought the Asse and the foale, & layed their clothes vpon them, and set him theron.

8 But many of the people spred their garmentes in the waye: other cut downe braunches from the trees, and strawed them in the waye.

9 As for the people that wente before and that came after, they cryed and sayde: Hosianna vnto the sonne of Dauid, Blessed be he that commeth in the name of the LORDE, Hosianna in the height.

10 And whan he was come in to Ierusalem, all the cite was moued, and sayde: Who is this?
