Matthew 21:1-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The King Rides Into Jerusalem On a Donkey, As Predicted In Zechariah
21 And when they drew-near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent forth two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Proceed to the village before you, and immediately you will find a donkey having been tied, and a colt with her. Having untied them, bring them to Me. 3 And if someone says something to you, you shall say that ‘The Lord has need of them’, and immediately he will send them forth”. 4 Now this has taken place in order that the thing might be fulfilled having been spoken through the prophet saying: 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you— gentle, and mounted upon a donkey, even upon a colt, a foal of a beast-of-burden’” [Zech 9:9]. 6 And the disciples— having proceeded, and having done just as Jesus directed them— 7 brought the donkey and the colt. And they put their cloaks on them. And He sat on them[a]. 8 And most-of the crowd[b] spread their cloaks in the road. And others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. 9 And the crowds going ahead of Him, and the ones following Him, were crying out, saying, “Hosanna[c] to the Son of David. Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest [heavens]”.
The King Arrives In Jerusalem, And The Whole City Is Shaken
10 And He having entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken[d], saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee”.
