Matthew 21:1–9

¹And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose them and lead them to me. ³And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them. ⁴But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, ⁵Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. ⁶But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them, ⁷brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them. ⁸But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way. ⁹And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest.
