Context of Matthew 21:6

4This happened so that what was spoken by the prophet would be fulfilled, saying: 5“Tell the daughter of Zion (the people of Jerusalem), ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Gentle and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ” Then the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them, 7and they brought the donkey and the colt, and placed their coats on them; and Jesus sat on the coats. 8Most of the crowd spread their coats on the road [as before a king], while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
