The Triumphal Entry

21 ^(A)When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at ^(B)the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples, ² saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to Me. ³ And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them on immediately.” ⁴ Now ^(C)this ^[a]took place so that what was spoken through ^[b]the prophet would be fulfilled:

¹⁵ and saying, “^(A)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God ^[a]is at hand; ^(B)repent and ^[b]believe in the gospel.”

³⁷ And as soon as He was approaching, near the descent of ^(A)the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to ^(B)praise God ^[a]joyfully with a loud voice for all the ^[b]miracles which they had seen, ^38 [c]shouting:

¹³ they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “^(A)Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the ^(B)King of Israel!” ¹⁴ Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: ¹⁵ “^(C)Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”
