1 Quando Jesus e os discípulos se aproximavam de Jerusalém, já perto da vila de Betfagé, no Monte das Oliveiras, Jesus mandou que dois deles fossem à sua frente, à vila

2 Logo à entrada verão uma jumenta ali amarrada com a cria ao lado. Desamarrem-nas e tragam-nas cá. Se alguém vos perguntar o que fazem, respondam apenas: 'O Mestre precisa delas , e não haverá dificuldade.

6 Os dois discípulos fizeram como Jesus lhes disse e trouxeram-lhe os animais, pondo as suas roupas em cima do jumentinho. Jesus montou-o.

8 Muita gente começou a pôr as suas capas ao longo da estrada à sua frente, enquanto outras cortavam ramos das árvores e os espalhavam diante dele.

10 Toda a cidade de Jerusalém ficou em alvoroço quando ele entrou. Quem é este?, perguntava-se.

11 E o povo respondia: É Jesus, o profeta de Nazaré da Galileia!

1 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said to them,

2 Look, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn him to death,

3 and will deliver him to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and will spit on him, and will scourge him, and will kill him; and the third day he will be raised up.

4 And as they drew near to Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

5 And look, a blind man sitting by the wayside, when he heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on me, Jesus, Son of David.

6 And the multitude rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on me, Son of David.

7 And Jesus stood still, and called him, and said, What do you want that I should do to you?

8 He says to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

9 And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him.

10 And he entered and was passing through Jericho.

11 And look, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
