John 12:12

The next day a great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying:

Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and he sat on it.

And they brought it to Jesus, and they threw their garments on the colt and set Jesus on it.

Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
