The Triumphal Entry

1

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2

Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you: and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me.

3

And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go.

4

Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5

Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

6

And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.

7

And they brought the ass and the colt and laid their garments upon them and made him sit thereon.

8

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.

9

And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

10

And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?

11

And the people said: This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.
