Contextual Overview
1 And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples, 2 and says to them, Go your way into the village that is across from you: and right away as you enter into it, you shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any one says to you, Why do you do this? say, The Lord has need of him; and right away he will send him back here. 4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street; and they loose him. 5 And certain of those that stood there said to them, What do you do, loosing the colt? 6 And they said to them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go. 7 And they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat on him. 8 And many spread their garments on the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields. 9 And those that went before, and those that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that comes in the name of the Lord: 10 Blessed [is] the kingdom that comes, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
