Contextual Overview
28 When He had finished the picture-story, He went on ahead of them up to Jerusalem. 29 When Jesus was coming near the towns of Bethphage and Bethany by the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His followers on ahead. 30 He said, "Go into the town ahead of you. There you will find a young donkey tied. No man has ever sat on it. Let it loose and bring it to Me. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you letting it loose?' say to him, ‘Because the Lord needs it.'" 32 Those who were sent found everything as Jesus had told them. 33 As they were letting the young donkey loose, the owners said to them, "Why are you letting the young donkey loose?" 34 They answered, "The Lord needs it." 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They put their coats on the donkey and they put Jesus on it. 36 As Jesus was going, they put their coats down on the road. 37 Jesus was near the city and ready to go down the Mount of Olives. The many people who were following Him began to sing with loud voices and give thanks for all the powerful works they had seen.
