AsG3753 they approachedG1448G1519 JerusalemG2414 andG2532 cameG2064 toG1519 BethphageG967 onG1519 theG3588 MountG3735 of OlivesG1636, JesusG2424 sent outG649 twoG1417 disciplesG3101, 2sayingG3004 to themG846, “GoG4198 intoG1519 theG3588 villageG2968 aheadG2713 of youG4771, andG2532 at onceG2112 you will findG2147 a donkeyG3688 tiedG1210 there, withG2532 her coltG4454 besideG3326 herG846. UntieG3089 them and bringG71 them to MeG1473. 3IfG1437 anyoneG5100 questionsG2036G5100 youG4771, tellG2046 him thatG3754 theG3588 LordG2962 needsG2192G5532 themG846, andG1161 he will sendG649 themG846 right awayG2112.”

ThisG3778 took placeG1096 toG2443 fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 throughG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396:

5“SayG2036 to theG3588 DaughterG2364 of ZionG4622,‘SeeG2400, yourG4771 KingG935 comesG2064 to youG4771,gentleG4239 andG2532 ridingG1910 onG1909 a donkeyG3688,onG1909 a coltG4454, the foalG5207 of a donkeyG5268.’”1

6SoG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 wentG4198 andG2532 didG4160 asG2531 JesusG2424 had directedG4929 themG846. 7They broughtG71 theG3588 donkeyG3688 andG2532 theG3588 coltG4454 andG2532 laidG2007 theirG3588 cloaksG2440 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 Jesus satG1940 onG1883 themG846.

A massiveG4118 crowdG3793 spreadG4766 theirG1438 cloaksG2440 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598, whileG1161 othersG243 cutG2875 branchesG2798 fromG575 theG3588 treesG1186 andG2532 spreadG4766 them onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598.

TheG3588 crowdsG3793 thatG3588 went aheadG4254 of HimG846 andG2532 those thatG3588 followedG190 were shoutingG2896:

“HosannaG5614 to theG3588 SonG5207 of DavidG1138!”2
“Blessed isG2127 HeG3588 who comesG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!”3
“HosannaG5614 inG1722 theG3588 highestG5310!”4

WhenG846 Jesus had enteredG1525G1519 JerusalemG2414, theG3588 wholeG3956 cityG4172 was stirredG4579 and askedG3004, “WhoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778?”

11

TheG3588 crowdsG3793 repliedG2036, “ThisG3778 isG1510 JesusG2424, theG3588 prophetG4396 fromG575 NazarethG3478 in GalileeG1056.”
