1 Ja kun he lähestyivät Jerusalemia, tullen Beetfageen ja Betaniaan Öljymäelle, lähetti hän kaksi opetuslastaan

4 Niin he menivät ja löysivät oven eteen ulos kujalle sidotun varsan ja päästivät sen.

6 Niin he sanoivat heille, niinkuin Jeesus oli käskenyt; ja he antoivat heidän mennä.

7 Ja he toivat varsan Jeesuksen luo ja heittivät vaatteensa sen päälle, ja hän istui sen selkään.

8 Ja monet levittivät vaatteensa tielle, ja toiset lehviä, joita katkoivat kedoilta.

11 Ja hän kulki sisälle Jerusalemiin ja meni pyhäkköön; ja katseltuaan kaikkea hän lähti niiden kahdentoista kanssa Betaniaan, sillä aika oli jo myöhäinen.

1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
