Matthew 21:3-5
Expanded Bible

3 If anyone asks you ·why you are taking the donkeys [L anything], say that ·the Master [the Lord; or its Owner] needs them, and ·he will send them at once [or the Lord will return it soon; see Mark 11:3].”

4 This was to ·bring about [fulfill] what ·the prophet had said [L had been spoken through the prophet]:

5 “Tell ·the people of Jerusalem [L the daughter of Zion; C a metaphor for Israel],
    ‘[L Look; T Behold,] Your king is coming to you.
He is ·gentle [humble] and ·riding [mounted] on a donkey,
    on the colt of a donkey [Is. 62:11; Zech. 9:9].’”
