Matthew 21 : 1 - 11
1 | Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, |
2 | saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. |
3 | And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, "The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them." |
4 | All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: |
5 | "Tell the daughter of Zion, "Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey."' |
6 | So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. |
7 | They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. |
8 | And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. |
9 | Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' Hosanna in the highest!" |
10 | And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" |
11 | So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee." |
