Matthew 21:1-9 ▼

1 When they drewe neye vnto Ierusalem and were come to Betphage vnto mounte olivete: then sent Iesus two of his disciples

2 saiynge to the. Go in to the toune that lyeth over agaynste you and anone ye shall fynde an asse bounde and her colte with her: lose them and bringe them vnto me.

3 And if eny man saye ought vnto you saye ye yt the lorde hath neade of them: and streyght waye he will let them go.

4 All this was done to fulfyll that which was spoken by the Prophet sayinge:

5 Tell ye the doughter of Sion: beholde thy kynge cometh vnto the meke and sittinge vpon an asse and a colte the fole of an asse vsed to the yooke.

6 The disciples went and dyd as Iesus comaunded them

7 and brought ye asse and the colte and put on them their clothes and set him theron.

8 And many of the people spreed their garmentes in ye waye. Other cut doune braunches fro the trees and strawed them in the waye.

9 Moreover the people that went before and they also that came after cryed sayinge: Hosanna to ye sonne of David. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lorde Hosanna in the hyest.
