Matthew 21:1–9

And ^awhen they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to ^bBethphage, unto ^cthe mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, ²Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. ³And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. ^4dAll this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, ^5eTell ye the daughter of Sion, ^fBehold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. ⁶And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, ⁷And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him ^gthereon. ⁸And a very great multitude ^hspread their garments in the way; others ⁱcut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. ⁹And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, ^kHosanna to the Son of David: ^lBlessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; ^kHosanna ^min the highest.
