As they were approaching Yerushalayim, near Beit-Pagei and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, Yeshua sent two of his talmidim
2
with these instructions: "Go into the village ahead of you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it, and bring it here.
3
If anyone asks you, `Why are you doing this?' tell him, `The Lord needs it,' and he will send it here right away."
4
They went off and found a colt in the street tied in a doorway, and they untied it.
5
The bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"
6
They gave the answer Yeshua had told them to give, and they let them continue.
7
They brought the colt to Yeshua and threw their robes on it, and he sat on it.

Many people carpeted the road with their clothing, while others spread out green branches which they had cut in the fields.
