4 This happened in order to make what the prophet had said come true:
5 “Tell the city of Zion,Look, your king is coming to you!He is humble and rides on a donkeyand on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
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.
