Matthew 21:1-6

The Triumphal Entry

1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie [them] [and] bring [them] to me.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, 'The Lord {needs them},' and he will send them at once."
4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
5 "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your king is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a pack animal.'"
6 So the disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them,
