³⁰Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him and bring him hither.

³¹And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.

³²And they that were sent went their way and found the colt standing, as he said unto them.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?

³⁴But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.

³⁵And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.

³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.

³⁷And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,

³⁸Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!
