Contextual Overview
1 Jesus and His followers were near Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives. They were in the towns of Bethphage and Bethany. Jesus sent two of His followers on ahead. 2 He said to them, "Go into the town over there. As soon as you get there, you will find a young donkey tied. No man has ever sat on it. Let the donkey loose and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing that?' say, ‘The Lord needs it. He will send it back again soon.'" 4 The two followers went on their way. They found the young donkey tied by the door where two streets crossed. They took the rope off its neck. 5 Some men were standing there. They said to the two followers, "Why are you taking the rope off that young donkey?" 6 The two followers told them what Jesus had said and the men let them take the donkey. 7 They brought it to Jesus and put their coats over it. Jesus sat on the donkey. 8 Many people put their clothes down on the road. Others cut branches off the trees and put them down on the road. 9 Those who went in front and those who followed spoke with loud voices, "Greatest One! Great and honored is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Great is the coming holy nation of our father David. It will come in the name of the Lord, Greatest One in the highest heaven."
