The Triumphal Entry

Mark 11:1–10; Luke 19:29–38; John 12:12–15

21 Now awhen they drew near Jerusalem, and came to 1Bethphage, at bthe Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

4 2All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5 “Tell cthe daughter of Zion,

‘Behold, your King is coming to you,

Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,

A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

6 dSo the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, elaid their clothes on them, 3and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; fothers cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna to the Son of David!

g‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

Hosanna in the highest!”

10 hAnd when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
