28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, 30 saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’"

32 Ja lähetetyt menivät ja havaitsivat niin olevan, kuin hän oli heille sanonut.

35 Ja he veivät sen Jeesuksen luo ja heittivät vaatteensa varsan selkään ja istuttivat Jeesuksen niiden päälle.

36 Ja hänen kulkiessaan kansa levitti vaatteensa tielle.

37 Ja kun hän jo oli lähellä, laskeutuen Öljymäen rinnettä, rupesi koko opetuslasten joukko iloiten kiittämään Jumalaa suurella äänellä kaikista voimallisista teoista, jotka he olivat nähneet,
