1 When they came near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples ahead of him.
2 He said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. You will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them, and bring them to me.
3 If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them. That person will send them at once.”
4 This happened so that what the prophet had said came true:
5 “Tell the people of Zion,‘Your king is coming to you.He’s gentle,riding on a donkey,on a colt, a young pack animal.’ ”
6 The disciples did as Jesus had directed them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put their coats on them for Jesus to sit on.
