    1The Triumphal Entry Now as they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

    2and said to them,“Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

    3If anyone says to you,‘Why are you doing this?’ say,‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here soon.’”

    4So they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it.

    5Some people standing there said to them,“What are you doing, untying that colt?”

    6They replied as Jesus had told them, and the bystanders let them go.

    7Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.

    8Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

    9Both those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting,“Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

    34They replied,“The Lord needs it.”

    35Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it.
