2 with these instructions: “Go to the village there ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied up with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 And if anyone says anything, tell him, ‘The Master needs them’; and then he will let them go at once.”
4 This happened in order to make come true what the prophet had said:
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.
