Goodspeed(i)
1 When they were getting near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead,
2 and said to them, "Go to the village that lies in front of you, and as soon as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3 And if anybody says to you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here directly.' "
4 And they set off and found a colt tied in the street at the door of a house, and they untied it.
5 Some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
6 But they answered them as Jesus had told them to do, and the men let them take it.
7 So they brought the colt to Jesus, and they threw their coats over it and Jesus mounted it.
8 And many of the people spread their coats in the road, and others cut straw from the fields and scattered it in his path.
9 And those in front and those behind shouted, "God bless him! Blessed be he who comes in the Lord's name!
10 Blessed be the reign of our father David which is coming! God bless him from on high!"
11 And he came into Jerusalem and into the Temple, and looked it all over; then, as it was already late, he went out with the Twelve to Bethany.
