4 (A)This (a)took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5
(B)Say to the daughter of Zion,
Behold your King is coming to you,
Gentle, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on (b)the coats. 8 Most of the crowd (C)spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. 9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting,
“Hosanna to the (D)Son of David;
(E)Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna (F)in the highest!”
