Matthew 21:4-9

4 This took place ¹to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5 ²"Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your king is coming to you, ³humble, and mounted on a donkey, and^[a] on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.'"

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.

8 Most of the crowd ⁴spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ⁵"Hosanna to ⁶the Son of David! ⁷Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna ⁸in the highest!"
