New International Version

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King^(A)^(B)

21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,^(C) Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

⁴This took place to fulfill^(D) what was spoken through the prophet:

⁵“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”^[a]^(E)

⁶The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. ⁸A very large crowd spread their cloaks^(F) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna^[b] to the Son of David!”^(G)

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”^[c]^(H)

“Hosanna^[d] in the highest heaven!”^(I)

¹⁰When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

¹¹The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet^(J) from Nazareth in Galilee.”

New International Version

The Great Multitude in White Robes

⁹After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,^(A) standing before the throne^(B) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes^(C) and were holding palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,^(D)
who sits on the throne,^(E)
and to the Lamb.”

¹¹All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders^(F) and the four living creatures.^(G) They fell down on their faces^(H) before the throne and worshiped God, ¹²saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”^(I)

¹³Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes^(J)—who are they, and where did they come from?”

¹⁴I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes^(K) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.^(L) ¹⁵Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God^(M)
    and serve him^(N) day and night in his temple;^(O)
and he who sits on the throne^(P)
    will shelter them with his presence.^(Q)
¹⁶‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.^(R)
The sun will not beat down on them,’^[a]
    nor any scorching heat.^(S)
¹⁷For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;^(T)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’^[b]^(U)
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’^[c]”^(V)
