1. AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2. Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
3. And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
4. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
6. And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
7. And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
