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
