1 As they approached Jerusalem, near to Bethphage and Bethany, beside the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead. 2 He told them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter, you’ll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden before. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you what you are doing, tell them, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back soon.’"
4 So they set off, and found a colt tied to a door, out on the street, and they untied it. 5 Some of the people standing around asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt"? 6 The disciples replied just as Jesus told them to, and the people let them go.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, put their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on it.
