The Triumphal Entry

1 ^aNow when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to ^bthe Mount of Olives, then Jesus ^csent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place ^dto fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5 ^e“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
^fhumble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, ^{▼▼Or donkey, and on a colt,} the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
