11As they all approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent out two of his disciples. ²He said to them, “Go to the village ahead of you. Just as you enter it, you will find a donkey’s colt tied there. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here. ³Someone may ask you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ If so, say, ‘The Lord needs it. But he will send it back here soon.’ ”

⁴So they left. They found a colt out in the street. It was tied at a doorway. They untied it. ⁵Some people standing there asked, “What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?” ⁶They answered as Jesus had told them to. So the people let them go.

⁷They brought the colt to Jesus. They threw their coats over it. Then he sat on it.

⁸Many people spread their coats on the road. Others spread branches they had cut in the fields. ⁹Those in front and those in back shouted,

“Hosanna!”

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

¹⁰“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
