Matthew 21:1-9

The Triumphal Entry

¹When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to Me. ³And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them on immediately.” ⁴Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled:

5“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Behold your King is coming to you,

Humble, and mounted on a donkey,

Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

⁶The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, ⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their cloaks on them; and He sat on the cloaks. ⁸Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. ⁹Now the crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting,

“Hosanna to the Son of David;

Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord;

Hosanna in the highest!”
