Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?

but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man's voice and stayed the madness of the prophet.

And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them , and bring them unto me.

and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
