6. So the disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do:
7. they brought the donkey and the colt, threw their cloaks over them, and Jesus got on.
8. A large crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9. The crowds walking in front of Jesus and those walking behind began to shout, “Praise to David's Son! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God!”
10. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into an uproar. “Who is he?” the people asked.
11. “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds answered.
12. Jesus went into the Temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the stools of those who sold pigeons,
13. and said to them, “It is written in the Scriptures that God said, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it a hideout for thieves!”
14. The blind and the crippled came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.
15. The chief priests and the teachers of the Law became angry when they saw the wonderful things he was doing and the children shouting in the Temple, “Praise to David's Son!”
