The Triumphal Entry Now as they approached Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples

2

and said to them,“Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

3

If anyone says to you,‘Why are you doing this?’ say,‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here soon.’”

So they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it.

Some people standing there said to them,“What are you doing, untying that colt?”

They replied as Jesus had told them, and the bystanders let them go.

Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.
