14. Then Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written:
15. “Fear not, daughter of Zion;see, your King is coming,sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

28. Father, glorify Your name.”Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29. The crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
