1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 saying to them, ‘Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3 If anyone asks you, “Why are you doing this?” say, “The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.” ’
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,
5 some people standing there asked, ‘What are you doing, untying that colt?’
6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.
