1

And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2

saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.

3

And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them and straightway he will send them.

4

Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

5

Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

6

And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,

7

and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments and he sat thereon.

8

And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.

9

And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest.

10

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?

11

And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
