29. Now when he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30. telling them, “Go to the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32. So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he had told them.
33. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?”
34. They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35. Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it.
36. As he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
