1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose {them} and lead {them} to me.
3 And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.
4 But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,
7 brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.
8 But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.
9 And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed {be} he who comes in the name of {the} Lord; hosanna in the highest.
10 And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is 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。"
