1 As they approached Jerusalem, near the towns of Bethphageand Bethany, they came to the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead 2 with these instructions: "Go to the village there ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 And if someone asks you why you are doing that, say that the Master11.3: the Master; or its owner.needs it and will send it back at once."
4 So they went and found a colt out in the street, tied to the door of a house. As they were untying it, 5 some of the bystanders asked them, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"
6 They answered just as Jesushad told them, and the crowd let them go. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the animal, and Jesusgot on. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches in the field and spread them on the road. 9 Ps 118.25,26The people who were in front and those who followed behind began to shout, "Praise God! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 God bless the coming kingdom of King David, our father! Praise be to God!"
11 Jesusentered Jerusalem, went into the Temple, and looked around at everything. But since it was already late in the day, he went out to Bethanywith the twelve disciples.
