nsb - Matthew:21:1-11

nsb@Matthew:21:1 @ They were near Jerusalem at Bethphage. Jesus sent two disciples to the Mount of Olives.

nsb@Matthew:21:2 @ He told them, »Go to the nearby town and look for a donkey with a cord around her neck. There will be a young one with her. Turn them loose and bring them to me.

nsb@Matthew:21:3 @ »Tell anyone who asks, The Lord needs them, and right away he will allow them to go.«

nsb@Matthew:21:4 @ This took place so that the words of the prophet might come true:

nsb@Matthew:21:5 @ »Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, humble, and seated on a donkey, a colt, the offspring of a beast of burden.«

nsb@Matthew:21:6 @ So the disciples did as Jesus commanded.

nsb@Matthew:21:7 @ They got the donkey and the young one, and laid their clothing on them. And he sat on the clothing.

nsb@Matthew:21:8 @ Most of the people spread their garments on the road. Others took branches from the trees and put them on the road.

nsb@Matthew:21:9 @ Those going ahead of him and following him shouted praise: »Glory to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah! Glory in the highest!« (Psalms strkjv@118:26)

nsb@Matthew:21:10 @ When he came to Jerusalem, the people were excited. They asked: »Who is this?«

nsb@Matthew:21:11 @ Other people said: »This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.«
