When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

3
"If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."

5
"SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.' "
