When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and
Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his
disciples 2and said to them, ¡®Go into the village ahead
of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find
tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie
it and bring it. 3If anyone says to you, ¡°Why are you
doing this?¡± just say this, ¡°The Lord needs it and
will send it back here immediately.¡± ¡¯ 4They went
away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the
street. As they were untying it, 5some of the bystanders
said to them, ¡®What are you doing, untying the colt?¡¯
6They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed
them to take it. 7Then they brought the colt to Jesus
and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. 8Many
people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread
leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. 9Then
those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,
¡®Hosanna! Blessed is the one who
comes in the name of the Lord!
10
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor
David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!¡¯
11 Then
he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when
he had looked around at everything, as it was already
late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage,
at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying
to them, ¡®Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately
you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie
them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything
to you, just say this, ¡°The Lord needs them.¡± And
he will send them immediately.*¡¯ 4This took place to
fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 ¡®Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is
coming to you, humble, and mounted
on a donkey, and on a colt,
the foal of a donkey.¡¯
6The
disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they
brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks
on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd* spread
their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from
the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that
went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, ¡®Hosanna
to the Son of David! Blessed is the
one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the
highest heaven!¡¯
10When he entered Jerusalem,
the whole city was in turmoil, asking, ¡®Who is this?¡¯
11The crowds were saying, ¡®This is the prophet Jesus
from Nazareth in Galilee.¡¯

After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to
Jerusalem.
29 When he had come near Bethphage and
Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he
sent two of the disciples, 30saying, ¡®Go into the village
ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied
there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and
bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ¡°Why are you untying
it?¡± just say this: ¡°The Lord needs it.¡± ¡¯ 32So
those who were sent departed and found it as he had
told them. 33As they were untying the colt, its owners
asked them, ¡®Why are you untying the colt?¡¯ 34They
said, ¡®The Lord needs it.¡¯ 35Then they brought it
to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt,
they set Jesus on it. 36As he rode along, people kept
spreading their cloaks on the road. 37As he was now
approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise
God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of
power that they had seen, 38saying, ¡®Blessed is the
king who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest
heaven!¡¯
39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said
to him, ¡®Teacher, order your disciples to stop.¡¯ 40He
answered, ¡®I tell you, if these were silent, the stones
would shout out.¡¯
41 As he came near and saw the
city, he wept over it, 42saying, ¡®If you, even you,
had only recognized on this day the things that make
for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43Indeed,
the days will come upon you, when your enemies will
set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem
you in on every side. 44They will crush you to the ground,
you and your children within you, and they will not
leave within you one stone upon another; because you
did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.¡¯*
