New Living Translation

⁷They brought the donkey and the colt to him and threw their garments over the colt, and he sat on it.^[a]

⁸Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting,

“Praise God^[b] for the Son of David!
Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Praise God in highest heaven!”^[c]
