28. And after saying these things, Jesus went on ahead of them, going up to Jerusalem.
29. When He came near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called [the Mount of] Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
30. Telling [them], Go into the village yonder; there, as you go in, you will find a donkey's colt tied, on which no man has ever yet sat. Loose it and bring [it here].
31. If anybody asks you, Why are you untying [it]? you shall say this: Because the Lord has need of it.
32. So those who were sent went away and found it [just] as He had told them.
33. And as they were loosening the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?
34. And they said, The Lord has need of it.
35. And they brought it to Jesus; then they threw their garments over the colt and set Jesus upon it. [Zech. 9:9.]
