1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mountain of the olive trees, he sends two of the disciples of himself, and says to them:

2 Go you into the town that opposite you; and immediately entering into her, you will find a colt having been tied, upon which no one of men has sat; having loosed him lead you.

3 And if any one to you should say: Why do you this? say you: That the master of him need has; and immediately him he will send here.

4 They went and, and found a colt having been tied near the door without in the street; and they loosen him.

5 And some of those there standing said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

6 They and said to them even as commanded the Jesus; and they suffered them.

7 And they led the colt to the Jesus, and they threw upon him the mantles of themselves; and he sat upon him.

8 Many and the mantles of themselves spread in the way; others and branches cut off from the trees, and scattered in the way.

9 And those going before and those following did cry, saying: Hosanna; worthy of blessing be coming in name of Lord;

10 worthy of blessing the coming kingdom of the father of us David; Hosanna in the highest.

11 And entered into Jerusalem the Jesus, and into the temple; and having looked round on all, evening now being the hour, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1 They came close to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives. He appointed two of his disciples to

2 go into the village that is nearby. »As soon as you enter it you will find a colt tied there. No man has ever sat on that colt. Untie him and bring him.

3 »If any one questions why you do this say: The Lord has need of him. Immediately he will send it here.«

4 They found a colt tied at the door in the open street and they untied it.

5 Those who stood there asked why are you untying the colt?

6 They told them what Jesus said and they let them go.

7 The colt was brought to Jesus. They laid their garments on him and Jesus sat on him.

8 Many spread their garments along the way. Others spread branches, which they cut from the fields.

9 Those who led the way and those who followed cried: »Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in Jehovahs name!

10 »Blessed is the coming kingdom, the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!«

11 He entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. When evening came he went with the twelve to Bethany.
