1
And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2
and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
3
And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
4
And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
5
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6
And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
7
And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
8
And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
