The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it. Some of the by-standers said to them: "What are you doing, untying the foal?" And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go. Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it. Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields; And those who led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting: "'God save him!

Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the Temple Courts; and, after looking round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
