Mary Rejoices Over God Her Savior
46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies[a] the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoiced-greatly over God my Savior. 48 Because He looked-upon[b] the lowliness[c] of His slave, for behold— from now on, all generations will consider me blessed[d], 49 because the Powerful One did great things for me. And His name is holy. 50 And His mercy to generations and generations is on the ones fearing Him. 51 He did a mighty-deed[e] with His arm. He scattered ones proud[f] in the thought[g] of their heart. 52 He brought-down rulers from their thrones, and lifted-up lowly ones. 53 He filled ones being hungry with good things, and sent ones being rich away empty. 54 He helped Israel His servant so that He might remember[h] mercy, 55 just as He spoke to our fathers— to Abraham, and to his seed forever”.
Jesus Rides Into Jerusalem On a Donkey To Shouts of Hosanna
11 And when they draw-near to Jerusalem— to Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives— He sends-forth two of His disciples, 2 and says to them, “Go to the village before you. And immediately while proceeding into it, you will find a colt having been tied, on which none of mankind[a] yet sat. Untie it, and be bringing it. 3 And if someone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’, say, ‘The Lord has need of it, and[b] immediately He sends[c] it back here[d]’”. 4 And they went and found a colt having been tied at a door, outside on the street. And they untie it. 5 And some of the ones standing there were saying to them, “What are you doing untying the colt?” 6 But the ones spoke to them just as Jesus spoke, and they permitted them. And they bring the colt to Jesus. 7 And they throw their cloaks on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road. And others spread leafy-branches, having cut them from the fields. 9 And the ones going ahead and the ones following were crying-out “Hosanna! Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord. 10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!”
Jesus Enters Jerusalem
11 And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked-around-at everything, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
