1 And whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Jerusalem, and cam to Bethfage, at the mount of Olyuete, thanne sente he his twei disciplis, and seide to hem,

2 Go ye in to the castel that is ayens you, and anoon ye schulen fynde an asse tied, and a colt with hir; vntien ye, and brynge to me.

3 And if ony man seie to you ony thing, seie ye, that the Lord hath nede to hem; and anoon he schal leeue hem.

4 Al this was doon, that that thing schulde be fulfillid, that was seid bi the prophete, seiynge, Seie ye to the douyter of Syon, Lo!

5 thi kyng cometh to thee, meke, sittynge on an asse, and a fole of an asse vnder yok.

6 And the disciplis yeden, and diden as Jhesus comaundide hem.

7 And thei brouyten an asse, and the fole, and leiden her clothis on hem, and maden hym sitte aboue.

8 And ful myche puple strewiden her clothis in the weie; othere kittiden braunchis of trees, and strewiden in the weie.

9 And the puple that wente bifore, and that sueden, crieden, and seiden, Osanna to the sone of Dauid; blessid is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Osanna in hiy thingis.

10 And whanne he was entrid in to Jerusalem, al the citee was stirid, and seide, Who is this?

11 But the puple seide, This is Jhesus, the prophete, of Nazareth of Galilee.
