Matthew 21:1-9
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Triumphal Entry
21 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to
Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into
the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with
her. Loose them and bring them to
Me. 3 And if anyone
says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he
will send them.”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5 “Tell the daughter of
Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to
you,
Lowly, and sitting on a
donkey,
A colt, the foal of a
donkey.’”

6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded
them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their
clothes on them, and set Him on them. 8 And a
very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the
trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then
the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna to the Son of David!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”
