1
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage unto the Mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2
saying unto them, "Go into the village opposite you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them unto Me.
3
And if any man say aught unto you, ye shall say, `The Lord hath need of them,' and straightway he will send them."
4
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5
"Tell ye the daughter of Zion, `Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek and sitting upon an ass, and a colt, the foal of an ass.'"
6
And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.
