^(C1)And as they ^(*)approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and ^(C2)Bethany, near ^(C3)the Mount of Olives, He ^(*)sent two of His disciples,

and ^(*)said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

"And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he ^(F1)will send it back here."

They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they ^(*)untied it.

And some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

And they told them just as Jesus had said, and they gave them permission.

^(C1)They ^(*)brought the colt to Jesus and ^(*)put their cloaks on it; and He sat on it.

And many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

And those who went in front and those who followed were shouting: "^(F1)Hosanna! ^(C1)BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David; ^(F1)Hosanna ^(C1)in the highest!"

^(C1)And Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple area; and after looking around at everything, ^(C2)He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.
