WPNT(i)
1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, opposite the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them: “Go into the village opposite you and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose her and bring them to me.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, just say, ‘The Lord needs them’, and immediately he will send them.”
4 Now all this happened so that what was spoken through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, in fact, a young donkey, foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 So going and doing just as Jesus had commanded them,
7 the disciples brought the female donkey and the young donkey. And they placed their clothes on them and He sat down on them [the clothes].
8 And the very large crowd spread their clothes on the road, while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Then the crowds who went in front and those who followed kept crying out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10 So when He came into Jerusalem the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the crowds kept saying, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Natsareth of Galilee.”
12 Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 And He says to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer’, but you have made it ‘a cave of bandits’.”
14 And the lame and the blind came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.
15 But seeing the wonders that He did, and the children calling out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” the chief priests and the scribes became indignant
16 and said to Him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” So Jesus says to them: “Yes. Have you never read that ‘Out of the mouth of babies and nursing infants You have prepared praise for Yourself ’?”
17 Leaving them behind He went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
