1
And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2
And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.
3
And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.
4
And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.
5
And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?
6
Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.
7
And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.
8
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.
9
And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.
11
And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.
