And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

2 And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.

3 And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.

4 And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.

5 And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

6 Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.

8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed 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: Hosanna in the highest.
