When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples,

And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to Me.

Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

"And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them on immediately."

And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled:

All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

"SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, 'BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, HUMBLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY.'"

Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them,

And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their cloaks on them; and He sat on the cloaks.

And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

Now the crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"

And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And the crowds were saying, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee."

And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
