Palm Sunday - Matthew 21:1-11

As they approached Jerusalem
and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,
Jesus sent two disciples, saying 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.
If anyone says anything to you,
tell him that the Lord needs them,
and he will send them right away."
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
"Say to the Daughter of Zion,
'See, your King comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'" (Isaiah 62:11)
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
The brought the donkey and the colt,
placed their cloaks on them,
and Jesus sat on them.
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road,
while others cut branches from the trees
and spread them on the road.
The 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!"
When Jesus entered Jerusalem,
the whole cit was stirred and asked,
"Who is this?"
The crowds answered,
"This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."
(Matthew 21:1-11) NIV
