1And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
3And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
4And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
5And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
7And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
