^(a)As they *approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and ^(b)Bethany, near ^(c)the Mount of Olives, He *sent two of His disciples,

and *said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' you say, ‘The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he ^[a]will send it back here."

They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they *untied it.

Some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.
