1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying to them, 2 Go ye into the town opposite to us, and quickly shall ye find an ass bound, and a colt with her; having loosed, bring to me. 3 And if any one say to you, Why? ye shall say, That the Lord has need of them; and quickly will he send them. 4 And the whole of this was, that that spoken by the prophet be completed; saying, 5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and a colt, son of a beast of burden. 6 And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them, 7 Brought the ass, and colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat over them. 8 And a very great crowd strewed their garments in the way; and others cut down young shoots from the trees, and strewed in the way. 9 And the crowds leading before, and following, cried, saying, Osanna to the son of David: he coming in the name of the Lord being praised; Osanna in the highest ones. 10 And he having come to Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?
