1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent away two disciples, 2 saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and you will immediately find a donkey tied, and the colt with her: loosing, lead her to me. 3 And if any one may say any thing to you, tell him, that the Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them away. 4 And all this took place, that the word spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, 5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh, meek, and seated upon a donkey, even a colt, the progeny of the work-beast. 6 And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them, 7 led the donkey, and the colt, and put their garments on them; and He sat on them. 8 A great multitude strewed their garments in the road: and others cut down the branches from the trees, and were strewing them in the road. 9 And the multitudes going forward, and following, continued to cry out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest! 10 And He having come into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, saying; Who is He?
