Matthew 21:1-7

1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2saying 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.

3If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

6The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.

7They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
