1 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here."

4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. 5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?" 6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1 And when they came near to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples

2 and said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring [him].

3 And if anyone says unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him, and straightway he will send him here.

4 And they went and found the colt tied by the door outside between two ways, and they loosed him.

5 And some of those that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

6 Then they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.

7 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 leaves off the trees and spread [them] in the way.

9 And those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that comes in the name of the Lord;

10 blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, and it being now late, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
