1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
3And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
7and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
