The Triumphal Entry

21 ^(A)And when they had approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at ^(B)the Mount of Olives, then Jesus 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 her; untie them and bring them to Me. ³ And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” ^4 (C)And this ^[a]took place in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

⁶ And the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, ⁷ and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their garments on them; and He sat on ^[b]the garments. ⁸ And most of the crowd ^(E)spread their garments 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 those who followed, were crying out, saying,

¹⁰ And when He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” ¹¹ And the crowds were saying, “This is ^(I)the prophet Jesus, from ^(J)Nazareth in Galilee.”

¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and ^(A)He healed them. ¹⁵ But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the marvelous things which He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, saying, “Hosanna to the ^(B)Son of David,” they became indignant ¹⁶ and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘^(C)Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?” ¹⁷ And He left them and went out of the city to ^(D)Bethany, and spent the night there.
