1And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.
3And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.
4And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.
5And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?
6And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.
7And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.
