Matthew 21:6

Matthew 21:1-11

¹And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ²saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and at once you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. ³And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and at once he will send them.” ⁴Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, when he says, ⁵“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, gentle and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” ⁶And the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; ⁷they brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. ⁸And most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. ⁹And the crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were crying out, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” ¹⁰And when he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken, saying, “Who is this?” ¹¹And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, the one from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Mark 11:1-11

¹And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples ²and says to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and at once, as you enter into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no person has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it. ³And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it, and he will send it back here at once.’” ⁴And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untie it. ⁵And some of those standing there were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” ⁶And they spoke to them just as Jesus had said; and they let them go. ⁷And they bring the colt to Jesus and throw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. ⁸And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. ⁹And those who went ahead and those who followed were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! ¹⁰Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” ¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and having looked around at everything, since the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

Luke 19:28-40

²⁸And after saying these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. ²⁹And it happened, as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, that he sent two of the disciples, ³⁰saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no person has ever sat; untie it and bring it. ³¹And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” ³²So those who had been sent went away and found it just as he had told them. ³³And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. ³⁶And as he was going along, they were spreading their cloaks on the road. ³⁷And as he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing and praising God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen, ³⁸saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” ³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” ⁴⁰And he answered and said, “I tell you that if these are silent, the stones will cry out.”

John 12:12-19

¹²The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and they were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!” ¹⁴And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written, ¹⁵“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion; look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” ¹⁶His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him. ¹⁷So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead kept testifying. ¹⁸For this reason also the crowd went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign. ¹⁹So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!”
