1 When they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus gave two disciples a task.
2 He said to them, "Go into the village over there. As soon as you enter, you will find a donkey tied up and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 If anybody says anything to you, say that the Lord needs it." He sent them off right away.
4 Now this happened to fulfill what the prophet said,
5 Say to Daughter Zion, "Look, your king is coming to you, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a colt the donkey’s offspring."
