1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2 Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

8 And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.

9 And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

10 And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

1 耶稣和门徒走近耶路撒冷， 来到橄榄山的伯法其那里。耶稣派了两个门徒，

2 对他们说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 立刻就会看见一头驴拴在那里， 还有小驴跟它在一起。把它们解开， 牵来给我。

3 如果有人问你们， 就要说： ‘主需要它们。’他会立刻让你们牵走。"

4 这件事应验了先知所说的：

5 "要对锡安的居民（"居民"原文作"女子"）说： ‘看哪， 你的王来到你这里了； 他是温柔的， 他骑着驴， 骑的是小驴。’"

6 门徒照着耶稣的吩咐去作。

7 牵了驴和小驴来， 把衣服搭在它们上面， 耶稣就骑上。

8 有一大群人把自己的衣服铺在路上， 也有人从树上把树枝砍下来， 铺在路上。

9 前呼后拥的群众喊叫着： "‘和散那’归于大卫的子孙， 奉主名来的是应当称颂的， 高天之上当唱‘和散那’。"

10 耶稣进了耶路撒冷， 全城都震动起来， 他们问： "这人是谁？"

11 大家都说： "这就是那先知耶稣， 是从加利利的拿撒勒来的。"
