Mace(i)
1 As they came near to Jerusalem, about Bethphage and Bethany, by the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them:
2 go to yonder village that faces you, and upon your entrance into it, you will find a colt tied, that never was yet backed; loose him, and bring him to me.
3 if any one should ask you, why you do so? tell him, the Lord has occasion for it, and immediately he will send it hither.
4 accordingly they went, and finding the colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they untied it.
5 upon which some people there said to them, what do you mean by untying the colt?
6 and they answered as Jesus had directed, so they let them go.
7 then they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments upon it, he mounted thereon.
8 many spread their clothes in the way, others lopt down the branches of trees to strew them in the road.
9 the crowd that march'd before and behind crying out, Hosanna, blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David, which is now come, Hosanna in the highest heavens.
11 Jesus having made his entrance into Jerusalem, went into the temple, and after he had survey'd the whole, it being then late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.
