1 And when they drewe nye vnto Hierusalem, & were come to Bethphage, vnto the mout of Oliues, the sent Iesus two disciples,

2 Saying vnto the: Go into the towne that lyeth ouer agaynste you, and anone ye shall fynde an Asse tyed, & a colt with her: loose them and bryng them vnto me.

3 And yf any man saye ought vnto you, saye ye, the Lorde hath nede of them: and strayghtway he wyll let them go.

4 All this was done, that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophete, saying:

5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: behold, thy kyng commeth vnto thee meke, and syttyng vpon an Asse, & a colt, the foale of the Asse vsed to the yoke.

6 The disciples went, and did as Iesus commaunded them,

7 And brought the Asse, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set hym theron.

8 And many of the people spread their garmetes in the way. Other cut downe braunches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9 Moreouer, the multitudes that went before, & that came after, cryed, saying: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid. Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde, Hosanna in the hyest.
