Jesus enters Jerusalem
As they approached Jerusalem, Jesus sent two of His disciples ahead of Him.
He said to them:
"Go into the village opposite you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there. Untie it and bring it to me."
The disciples went and found the donkey just as Jesus had told them. They brought the donkey to Jesus and He rode it into Jerusalem. Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
They sang:
"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
