Matthew 21:3-13

3 "If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."
4 1This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 "2SAY 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 3spread 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 4Son of David; 5BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna 6in the highest!"
10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"
11 And the crowds were saying, "This is 7the prophet Jesus, from 8Nazareth in Galilee."

Cleansing the Temple

12 9And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the 10money changers and the seats of those who were selling 11doves.
13 And He said to them, "It is written, '12MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER '; but you are making it a 13ROBBERS' DEN."
