Matthew 21:1-11
1When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of
2 Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you,
and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and
3 bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs
them.’ And he will send them immediately.” 4This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,
5“Tell the daughter of Zion,
Look, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey
8 and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
A very large crowd
9The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
