[1] And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, [2] Saying unto them, Go into the village and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring [3] And if any man say ought ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. [4] All was done, that it might be fulfilled which by the prophet, saying, [5] Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, King cometh meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. [6] And the disciples went, and did as Jesus them, [7] And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them clothes, and they set him thereon. [8] And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. [9] And the multitudes that went before, 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.
