1<\/sup>When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2<\/sup>saying to them, \u2018Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3<\/sup>If anyone says anything to you, just say this, \u201cThe Lord needs them.\u201d And he will send them immediately.\u2019 4<\/sup>This took place to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, 
\n5<\/sup> \u2018Tell the daughter of Zion,
\nLook, your king is coming to you,
\n   humble, and mounted on a donkey,
\n     and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.\u2019 
\n6<\/sup>The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7<\/sup>they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8<\/sup>A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9<\/sup>The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,

\n   Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
