Matthew 21:1-17
When they were near Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage
on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying
to them, ‘Go to the village facing you, and you will at once find a
tethered donkey and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to
me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you are to say, “The Lord
needs them and will send them back at once.” ’ 4 This was to fulfil
what was spoken by the prophet:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion:
Look, your king is coming,
humble and riding on a donkey
and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had told them. 7 They
brought the donkey and the colt, then they laid their clothes on their
backs and he took his seat on them. 8 A great crowd spread their
clothes on the road, while others were cutting branches from the
trees and spreading them in his path. 9 The crowds who went in
front of him and those who followed were crying out:
‘Hosanna to the son of David! [9:27f]
Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heavens!’
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil
as people asked, ‘Who is this?’ 11 and the crowds answered, ‘This is
the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’
