The Foal of Bethphage

Previous Painting Next Painting
Tissot, The Foal of Bethphage 1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away." 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

  5 "Say to the
  Daughter of Zion,
  'See, your king
  comes to you,
  gentle and
  riding on a donkey,
  on a colt,
  the foal of a donkey.'"

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. Matthew 21:1-7
