Untie the donkey and bring it here. ³¹ If anyone asks why you are doing that, just say, ‘The Lord needs it.'" ³² They went off and found everything just as Jesus had said. ³³ While they were untying the donkey, its owners asked, "Why are you doing that?" ³⁴ They answered, "The Lord needs it." ³⁵ Then they led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back and helped Jesus get on. ³⁶ And as he rode along, the people spread clothes on the road in front of him. ³⁷ When Jesus was starting down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and praised God because of all the miracles they had seen.
