1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2 And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

3 And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

4 And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

5 And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

6 And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

7 And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

8 And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.

9 And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

10 A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

11 And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1 他们走近耶路撒冷， 到了伯法其和伯大尼， 来到橄榄山那里， 耶稣派了两个门徒，

2 对他们说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 一进去， 就会看见一头小驴拴在那里， 是没有人骑过的， 把它解开牵来。

3 如果有人问你们： ‘为什么这样作？’你们就说： ‘主需要它， 并且很快会送还到这里来。’"

4 门徒去了， 就发现一头小驴， 拴在门外的街上， 就把它解开。

5 站在那里的人有的问他们说： "你们为什么解它？"

6 门徒照着耶稣所说的话回答他们， 那些人就让他们牵走了。

7 门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里， 把自己的衣服搭在上面， 耶稣就骑了上去。

8 许多人把衣服铺在路上， 还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上。

9 前行后随的人都喊着说： "‘和散那’， 奉主名来的是应当称颂的！

10 那将要来临的， 我们祖先大卫的国是应当称颂的！ 高天之上当唱‘和散那’！ "

11 耶稣到了耶路撒冷， 进入圣殿， 察看了一切， 因为时候已经不早， 就和十二门徒出城往伯大尼去。
