¹When they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead of him. ²He said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it, and bring it. ³If anyone asks you what you are doing, say that the Lord needs it. That person will send it here at once.”

⁴The disciples found the young donkey in the street. It was tied to the door of a house. As they were untying it, ⁵some men standing there asked them, “Why are you untying that donkey?” ⁶The disciples answered them as Jesus had told them. So the men let them go.

⁷They brought the donkey to Jesus, put their coats on it, and he sat on it. ⁸Many spread their coats on the road. Others cut leafy branches in the fields and spread them on the road. ⁹Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting,

“Hosanna!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

¹⁰Blessed is our ancestor David’s kingdom that is coming!

Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
