1. Now when they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2. telling them, “Go to the village ahead of you. Right away you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3. If anyone says anything to you, you are to say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”
4. This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:
5. “Tell the people of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
6. So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
