1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives,

2 then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me.

3 And if any man say ought to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them: and he will send them immediately.

4 This was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,

5 saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting on an ass, even a colt, the fole of an ass.

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had commanded them,

7 And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes and set him thereon:

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut down branches from the trees and strewed them in the way.

9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed after cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David; blessed in the name of the Lord is he that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

10 And as he came into Jerusalem, all the city was in a commotion, saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
