¹As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

⁴This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

⁵“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” —Matthew 21:1-5 NIV

⁶The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. ⁷They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. ⁸A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!” —Matthew 21:6-9 NIV

³⁹Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
⁴⁰“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” —Luke 19:39-40 NIV

They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” —Luke 19:41-44 NIV
