When they drew near to Jerusalem ,
and came to Bethsphage , {
TR &
NU read "
Bethphage "
instead of "
Bethsphage "}
to the Mount of Olives ,
then Jesus sent two disciples ,
*
saying to them , "
Go into the village that is opposite you ,
and immediately you will find a donkey tied ,
and a colt with her .
Untie them ,
and bring them to me .
*
If anyone says anything to you ,
you shall say , '
The Lord needs them ,'
and immediately he will send them ."
*
All this was done ,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet ,
saying ,
* "
Tell the daughter of Zion ,
behold ,
your King comes to you ,
humble ,
and riding on a donkey ,
on a colt ,
the foal of a donkey ." {
Zechariah strkjv @
9:9 }
*
The disciples went ,
and did just as Jesus commanded them ,
*
and brought the donkey and the colt ,
and laid their clothes on them ;
and he sat on them .
*
A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road .
Others cut branches from the trees ,
and spread them on the road .
*
The multitudes who went before him ,
and who followed kept shouting , "
Hosanna {"
Hosanna "
means "
save us "
or "
help us ,
we pray ."}
to the son of David !
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord !
Hosanna in the highest !" {
Psalm strkjv @
118:26 }
*
When he had come into Jerusalem ,
all the city was stirred up ,
saying , "
Who is this ?"
*
The multitudes said , "
This is the prophet ,
Jesus ,
from Nazareth of Galilee ."
