Matthew 21:1-9 ▼

1 As they approached Jerusalem (city of peace) and came to Bethphage (house of figs) on the Mount of Olives, Jesus (YHWH saves) sent out two disciples (pupils),

2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you⁺, and at once you⁺ will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

3 If anyone questions you⁺, tell him that the Lord {Kyrios} needs them, and he will send them right away.

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5 “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See (Behold), your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey .’”

6 So the disciples (pupils) went and did as Jesus (YHWH saves) had directed them.

7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8 A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna (deliver us) to the Son of David (Psalm 118:25)!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord !” “Hosanna in the highest (“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”)!”
