And they cast their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus upon him. 36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 37 And when he came near to the descent of the place of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds which they had seen.
