²⁸Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
²⁹When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
³⁰saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
³¹If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
³²Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
³³As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
³⁴They said, “The Lord needs it.”
³⁵Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
³⁶As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
³⁷As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
³⁸saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
³⁹Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
⁴⁰He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

¹When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
²saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
³If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
⁴All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
⁵“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
⁶The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
⁷and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
⁹The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
¹⁰When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
¹¹The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
