1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2 And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

3 And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

4 And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

5 And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

6 And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

7 And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

8 And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.

9 And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

10 A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

11 And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1 A když se přiblížili k Jeruzalému a Betfagi i Betany při hoře Olivetské, poslal dva z učedlníků svých,

2 A řekl jim: Jděte do hrádku, kterýž proti vám jest, a hned vejdouce tam, naleznete oslátko přivázané, na kterémž ještě nižádný z lidí neseděl. Odvížíce, přiveďte ke mně.

3 A řekl-liť by vám kdo: Co to činíte? rcete: Že ho Pán potřebuje. A hned je propustí sem.

4 I odešli, a nalezli oslátko přivázané vně u dveří na rozcestí. I odvázali je.

5 Tedy někteří z těch, kteříž tu stáli, řekli jim: Co činíte, odvazujíce oslátko?

6 Oni pak řekli jim, jakož byl přikázal Ježíš. I nechali jich.

7 Protož přivedli oslátko k Ježíšovi, a vložili na ně roucha svá. I vsedl na ně.

8 Mnozí pak stlali roucha svá na cestě, a jiní ratolesti sekali z stromů, a metali na cestu.

9 A kteříž napřed šli, i ti, kteříž za ním šli, volali, řkouce: Spas nás. Požehnaný, jenž se béře ve jménu Páně.

10 Požehnané, kteréž jest přišlo ve jménu Páně, království otce našeho Davida! Spas nás na výsostech.

11 I všel do Jeruzaléma Ježíš, i do chrámu. A spatřiv tu všecko, když již byla večerní hodina, vyšel do Betany se dvanácti.
