Contextual Overview
1 As they came near to Jerusalem, about Bethphage and Bethany, by the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them: 2 go to yonder village that faces you, and upon your entrance into it, you will find a colt tied, that never was yet backed; loose him, and bring him to me. 3 if any one should ask you, why you do so? tell him, the Lord has occasion for it, and immediately he will send it hither. 4 accordingly they went, and finding the colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they untied it. 5 upon which some people there said to them, what do you mean by untying the colt? 6 and they answered as Jesus had directed, so they let them go. 7 then they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments upon it, he mounted thereon. 8 many spread their clothes in the way, others lopt down the branches of trees to strew them in the road. 9 the crowd that march'd before and behind crying out, Hosanna, blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord; 10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David, which is now come, Hosanna in the highest heavens.
