The Triumphal Entry

1 When(A) they approached Jerusalem,(B) at Bethphage and Bethany(C) near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples 2 and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”
4 So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it, 5 and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?” 6 They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go. 7 Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.
8 Many people spread their robes on the road,(D) and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.(a) 9 Then those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting:

Hosanna!
He who comes in the name(E)
of the Lord is the blessed One!(F)(b)
10
The coming kingdom(G)
of our father David(H) is blessed!
Hosanna(I) in the highest heaven!
