Riding into Jerusalem

28 After saying these things, Yeshua was going on ahead, up to Jerusalem. 29 When He got near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,[a] He sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village ahead. As you enter, you will find a colt tied up, that no one has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Master needs it.’”

32 Those who were headed out found things just as He told them. 33 Then as they were untying the colt, his owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 They said, “The Master needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Yeshua, threw their cloaks[b] on the colt, and set Yeshua on it. [c] 36 And as He went along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road. [d] 37 When Yeshua came near the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice. They praised God with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen, 38 saying,

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of Adonai![e]
Shalom in heaven and glory in the highest!”
