1. And when they had drawn near to Jerusalem, and had arrived at Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2. saying to them: "Go into the town that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Release them, and lead them to me.
3. And if anyone will have said anything to you, say that the Lord has need of them. And he will promptly dismiss them."
4. Now all this was done in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5. "Tell the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king comes to you meekly, sitting on a donkey and on a colt, the son of one accustomed to the yoke."
