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 Y COMO fueron cerca de Jerusalem, de Bethphagé, y de Bethania, al monte de las Olivas, envía dos de sus discípulos,

2 Y les dice: Id al lugar que está delante de vosotros, y luego entrados en él, hallaréis un pollino atado, sobre el cual ningún hombre ha subido; desatadlo y traedlo.

3 Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo ha menester: y luego lo enviará acá.

4 Y fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado á la puerta fuera, entre dos caminos; y le desataron.

5 Y unos de los que estaban allí, les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino?

6 Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado: y los dejaron.

7 Y trajeron el pollino á Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus vestidos, y se sentó sobre él.

8 Y muchos tendían sus vestidos por el camino, y otros cortaban hojas de los árboles, y las tendían por el camino.

9 Y los que iban delante, y los que iban detrás, daban voces diciendo: Hosanna! Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor.

10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene: Hosanna en las alturas!

11 Y entró Jesús en Jerusalem, y en el templo: y habiendo mirado alrededor todas las cosas, y siendo ya tarde, salióse á Bethania con los doce.
