1When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.
3If anyone asks you, `Why are you doing this?` say, `The Lord needs him;` and immediately he will send him back here."
4They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
6They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7They brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on him, and Jesus sat on him.
