1
And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2
and saith unto them,
Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
3
And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
4
And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
5
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6
And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
7
And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
8
And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
9
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10
Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
11
And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
