Contextual Overview
1 When they drew near to Yerushalayim, to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his talmidim, 2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him. 3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here." 4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. 5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" 6 They said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go. 7 They brought the colt to Yeshua, and threw their garments on him, and Yeshua sat on him. 8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road. 9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried, "Hoshia`na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hoshia`na in the highest!"
