1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, towards the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

2 and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and immediately entering into it you will find a colt tied up on which no one has sat. When you have untied him, bring [him].

3 And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of him,' and immediately he will send it here."

4 And they departed, and found the colt tied up by the door outside in the street, and they untied him.

5 But some of those standing there said to them, "What are you doing, loosing the colt?"

6 And they told them just as Jesus had commanded. And they gave them permission.

7 Then they led the colt to Jesus, and placed their clothes on him, and He sat on him.

8 And many spread their garments on the road, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading [them] on the road.

9 And those going before, and those that were[ ]following were crying out, saying: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'

10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple. And having looked around at all things, the hour already being late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
