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!”
