Matthew 21:1-10

The Triumphal Entry

1 1When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at 2the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.
3 "If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."
4 3This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 "4SAY 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.' "
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,
7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats.
8 Most of the crowd 5spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.
9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the 6Son of David; 7BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna 8in the highest!"
10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"
