1And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.
3And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.
4Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,
5Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.
6And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,
7And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.
