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

2: And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3: And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

4: And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

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

6: And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

7: And 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 branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9: And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

11: And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
