The Triumphal Entry

Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came
to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus
sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the
village opposite you, and immediately you will find
a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and
bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to
you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,'
and immediately he will send them." All this was
done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophet, saying:

     "Tell the daughter of Zion,
     'Behold, your King is coming to
         you,
     Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
     A colt, the foal of a donkey.'"

So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded
them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid
their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a
very great multitude spread their clothes on the
road; others cut down branches from the trees and
spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who
went before and those who followed cried out,
saying:

     "Hosanna to the Son of David!
     'Blessed is He who comes in the name
          of the LORD!'
     Hosanna in the highest!"

And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the
city was moved, saying, "Who is this?" So the
multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from
Nazareth of Galilee."

Matthew 21:1-11 NKJV
