Matthew 21:1-9 ▼

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.
