Matthew 21:1-9

11When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at 2the Mount of Olives, Jesus then sent two disciples, 2saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to Me. 3And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them on immediately.” 4Now 3this 4took place so that what was spoken through 5the prophet would be fulfilled:5“6Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold your King is coming to you, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” 6The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, 7and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their cloaks on them; and He sat on 7the cloaks. 8Most of the crowd 8spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9Now the crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, “9Hosanna to the 10Son of David; 11Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord; 12Hosanna 13in the highest!”
