1 Samuel 10:2-7

2 When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by ^aRachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, ^b‘The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now ^cyour father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ 3 Then you shall go on from there farther and come to the ^doak of Tabor. Three men ^egoing up ^fto God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. 4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand. 5 After that you shall come to ^gGibeath-elohim, ^{▼▼ Gibeath-elohim means the hill of God} ⁱwhere there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down ^jfrom the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. 6 ^kThen the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, ^land you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 Now when ^mthese signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, ⁿfor God is with you.

Matthew 26:18-19

18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ^o‘The Teacher says, ^pMy time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

Luke 19:29-40

29 ^qWhen he drew near to Bethphage and ^rBethany, at ^sthe mount that is called Olivet, he sent ^ttwo of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, ^uon which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it ^vjust as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they ^wspread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives— ^xthe whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ^yfor all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, ^z“Blessed is ^aathe King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ^abglory in the highest!” 39 ^acAnd some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^adthe very stones would cry out.”

John 16:4

4 But ^aeI have said these things to you, that when ^aftheir hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch

26 Now ^ahan angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south ^{▼▼Or go at about noon} to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an ^ajEthiopian, a ^akeunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, ^alwho was in charge of all her treasure. ^amHe had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”
