^{5 Ref} Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

^{6 Ref} And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,

^{7 Ref} and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
