1 And when they drewe nye vnto Hierusalem, & were come to Bethphage, vnto the mout of Oliues, the sent Iesus two disciples,

2 Saying vnto the: Go into the towne that lyeth ouer agaynste you, and anone ye shall fynde an Asse tyed, & a colt with her: loose them and bryng them vnto me.

3 And yf any man saye ought vnto you, saye ye, the Lorde hath nede of them: and strayghtway he wyll let them go.

4 All this was done, that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophete, saying:

5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: behold, thy kyng commeth vnto thee meke, and syttyng vpon an Asse, & a colt, the foale of the Asse vsed to the yoke.

6 The disciples went, and did as Iesus commaunded them,

7 And brought the Asse, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set hym theron.

8 And many of the people spread their garmetes in the way. Other cut downe braunches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9 Moreouer, the multitudes that went before, & that came after, cryed, saying: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid. Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde, Hosanna in the hyest.

10 And when he was come into Hierusale, all the citie was moued, saying: who is this?

11 And the multitude saide: This is Iesus that prophete of Nazareth in Galilee.

12 And Iesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and ouerthrewe the tables of the money chaungers, and the seates of them that solde doues,

13 And sayde vnto them, it is written: My house shalbe called the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of thieues.

14 And the blynde and the halt came to hym in the temple, and he healed them.
