And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, 'Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring it: and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.' read more.
And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it, and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye -- loosing the colt?' and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them. And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it, and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way. And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.' And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples, having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring it; and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose it? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.' read more.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them, and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?' and they said, 'The Lord hath need of it;' and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it. And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way, and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying, 'blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.' And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;' and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!' And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it, saying -- 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes. 'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side, and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'

On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;' and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written, read more.
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.' And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him. The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead; because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign, the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
