The Triumphal
Entry
Matthew 21:1-11
Now when
they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then
Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of
you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie
them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say,
‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to
fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, [a] the foal of a
beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7
They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat
on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut
branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went
before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10
And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is
this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of
Galilee.”
