1
And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2
And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.
3
And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.
4
And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.
5
And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?
6
And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.
7
And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.
