1 Kun he lähestyivät Jerusalemia ja tulivat Betfageen ja Betaniaan Öljymäen rinteelle, Jeesus lähetti edeltä kaksi opetuslastaan
4 Opetuslapset lähtivät ja löysivät varsan, joka oli sidottu kujalle oven eteen. He ottivat sen.
6 He vastasivat niin kuin Jeesus oli käskenyt, ja heidän annettiin mennä.
7 He toivat varsan Jeesukselle ja heittivät vaatteitaan sen selkään, ja Jeesus nousi ratsaille.
8 Monet levittivät vaatteitaan tielle, toiset taas lehviä, joita he katkoivat tienvarresta.
9 Ja ne, jotka kulkivat hänen edellään ja perässään, huusivat: -- Hoosianna! Siunattu olkoon hän, joka tulee Herran nimessä!
10 Siunattu isämme Daavidin valtakunta, joka nyt tulee! Hoosianna korkeuksissa!
11 Niin Jeesus saapui Jerusalemiin. Hän meni temppeliin ja katseli siellä kaikkea, mutta koska oli jo myöhä, hän lähti kahdentoista opetuslapsensa kanssa Betaniaan.
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.
