Matthew 21:1-7

1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2 Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.
