saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting on an ass, even a colt, the fole of an ass.

then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me.

And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes and set him thereon:

The Lord answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each of you loose his ox or ass from the stall on the sabbath, and lead him away to watering!

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And Jesus having got a young ass,

rode thereon, as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold thy king cometh, sitting on an asses colt.

But he had a rebuke for his iniquity: the dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.
