21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two
disciples, 2 saying to them, Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied
there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say
that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 Say to Daughter Zion, See, your king comes to you, gentle and
riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their
cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd
spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut
branches from the trees and spread them on
the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him
and those that followed shouted, Hosanna[b] to the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city
was stirred and asked, Who is this? 11 The crowds answered,
This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.
Jesus at the Temple
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out
all who were buying and selling there. He overturned
the tables of the money changers and the benches
of those selling doves. 13 It is written, he said to them,
My house will be called a house of prayer,but
you are making it a den of robbers.
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple,
and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests
and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful
things he did and the children shouting in the temple
courts, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant.
16 Do you hear what these children are saying? they asked him.Yes, replied Jesus,
have you never read, From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your
praise? 17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.
