   2 and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you. As soon as you enter   
   it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it   
   and bring it here.   
   3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say 'The Lord has need   
   of it,' and immediately he will send it here."   
   4 They went their way and found the colt tied by the door outside   
   on the street. And they untied it.   
   5 Some of those who stood there said to them,   
   "What are you doing untying the colt?"   
   6 They answered just as Jesus had commanded. And they let them go.   
   7 (Mt 21:4-5; 21:7-8) They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments   
   on it. And He sat upon it.   
   8 Many spread their garments on the street. And others cut down branches off   
   the trees and scattered them on the street.   
   9 (Ps 118:25-26; Mt 23:39) Those who went before   
   and those who followed cried out, saying:   
   "Hosanna!   
   'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)   
   10 (Lk 2:14; Ps 148:1) Blessed is the kingdom of our father David   
   that is coming in the name of the Lord!   
   Hosanna in the highest!"   
   11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. When He had looked   
   around at everything, as the hour was now late,   
   He went out to Bethany with the twelve.   
      
   [1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the   
   mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,   
   [2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and   
   as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never   
   man sat; loose him, and bring him.   
   [3] And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath   
   need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.   
   [4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in   
   a place where two ways met; and they loose him.   
   [5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing   
   the colt?   
   [6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.   
   [7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and   
   he sat upon him.   
   [8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches   
   off the trees, and strawed them in the way.   
   [9] And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,   
   Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:   
   [10] Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of   
   the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.   
   [11] And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had   
   looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went   
   out unto Bethany with the twelve.   
      
   Matthew 21:1-11   
      
   The Triumphant Entry Into Jerusalem   
   Mk 11:1-11; Lk 19:28-38; Jn 12:12-19   
      
   1 (Mt 24:3; 26:30) When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage,   
   on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,   
   2 saying to them, "Go over into the village opposite you,   
   and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.   
   Untie them and bring them to Me.   
   3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them.'   
   And he will send them immediately."   
   4 (Mt 1:22; Jn 12:15) All this was done to fulfill   
   what was spoken by the prophet, saying:   
   5 (Isa 62:11; Ge 49:10) "Tell the daughter of Zion,   
   'Look, your King is coming to you,   
   humble, and sitting on a donkey,   
   and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'Zec 9:9."   
   6 The disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.   
   7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their garments on them,   
   and He sat on them.   
   8 (2Ki 9:13) A very large crowd spread their garments on the road.   
   Others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.   
   9 (Lk 2:14; Mt 23:39) The crowds that went before Him   
   and that followed Him cried out:   
   "Hosanna to the Son of David!   
   'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' (Ps 118:26.)   
   Hosanna in the highest!"   
   10 When He entered Jerusalem, the entire city was moved,   
   saying, "Who is He?"   
   11 (Lk 7:16; Jn 6:14) The crowds said, "This is Jesus,   
   the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."   
      
   In Jerusalem   
      
   Triumphal Entry   
      
   1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto   
   the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,   
   2 saying unto them, Go into the village 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 man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of   
   them; and straightway he will send them.   
   4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken   
   by the prophet, saying,   
   5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,   
   Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,   
   Meek, and sitting upon an ass,   
   And a colt the foal of an ass.   
   6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,   
   7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their 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.   
   10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying,   
   Who is this?   
   11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.   
      
   Luke 19:28-40   
      
   The Triumphant Entry in Jerusalem   
   Mt 21:1-11; Mk 11:1-11; Jn 12:12-19   
      
   28 (Lk 9:51) When He had said this, He went before them,   
   ascending up to Jerusalem.   
   29 (Ac 1:12; Zec 14:4) When He came near to Bethphage and Bethany,   
   at the mountain called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,   
   30 saying, "Go over into the village opposite you, where, as you enter,   
   you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat.   
   Untie it and bring it here.   
   31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say to him,   
   'Because the Lord has need of it.' "   
   32 Those who were sent went and found it just as He had told them.   
   33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,   
   "Why are you untying the colt?"   
   34 They said, "The Lord has need of it."   
   35 (Mt 21:7; Mk 11:7-8) They brought it to Jesus. And they threw   
   their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.   
   36 As He went, they spread their clothes in the street.   
   37 When He was coming near the descent of the Mount of Olives,   
   the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice   
   and praise God with loud voices for all the mighty works that they had seen,   
   38 (Lk 13:35; Mt 21:9) saying:   
   'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)   
   Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"   
   39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him,   
   "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."   
   40 (Hab 2:11) He answered them, "I tell you, if these should be silent,   
   the stones would immediately cry out."   
      
   [28] And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.   
   [29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at   
   the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,   
   [30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your   
   entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him,   
   and bring him hither.   
   [31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto   
   him, Because the Lord hath need of him.   
   [32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said   
   unto them.
