1 Kun he lähestyivät Jerusalemia ja tulivat Betfageen ja Betaniaan Öljymäen rinteelle, Jeesus lähetti edeltä kaksi opetuslastaan
4 Opetuslapset lähtivät ja löysivät varsan, joka oli sidottu kujalle oven eteen. He ottivat sen.
6 He vastasivat niin kuin Jeesus oli käskenyt, ja heidän annettiin mennä.
7 He toivat varsan Jeesukselle ja heittivät vaatteitaan sen selkään, ja Jeesus nousi ratsaille.
8 Monet levittivät vaatteitaan tielle, toiset taas lehviä, joita he katkoivat tienvarresta.
9 Ja ne, jotka kulkivat hänen edellään ja perässään, huusivat: -- Hoosianna! Siunattu olkoon hän, joka tulee Herran nimessä!
10 Siunattu isämme Daavidin valtakunta, joka nyt tulee! Hoosianna korkeuksissa!
11 Niin Jeesus saapui Jerusalemiin. Hän meni temppeliin ja katseli siellä kaikkea, mutta koska oli jo myöhä, hän lähti kahdentoista opetuslapsensa kanssa Betaniaan.
1 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 and saith to them, Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:
3 and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.
4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
5 and certain of those standing there said to them, What do ye -- loosing the colt?
6 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
7 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
8 and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
