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 inG1722 theG3588 highestG5310!”4
