Contextual Overview

His twelve cowboys lined up behind him and followed. ²⁹When they neared Bethphage and Bethany at the Olive Hill, he sent two cowboys ahead. ³⁰"Go over there and you will find a young donkey that has never been ridden tied up next to a tree. Bring it to me. ³¹And if anyone asks what you are doing, say, 'The Top Hand needs it.'" ³²So they cowboys rode ahead, and everything was just as Jesus had said. ³³Even when they untied the colt, the owners asked them what they were doing. ³⁴The two cowboys said, "The Top Hand needs it for a little while." ³⁵They brought the colt to Jesus and threw a saddle blanket on it for him to sit on. ³⁶As he rode into Jerusalem, people laid their coats down on the ground in front of him. ³⁷When he turned down the road leading down from Olive Hill, all of the people following him began praising God for sending the Top Hand and all the miracles he had done.
