¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

¹² Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

¹⁴ And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,

¹⁵ Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.

¹⁶ (These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

¹⁷ Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

¹⁸ And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.

¹ But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.

²⁹ And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

³⁰ Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

³¹ And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

³² And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.

³³ And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

³⁴ And they said, The Lord has need of him.

³⁵ And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

³⁶ And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

³⁷ And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

³⁸ Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

⁴⁰ And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

¹³ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

³⁰ And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.

³ And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

¹⁷ And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.

¹ And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

² Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

³ And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

⁴ Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

⁵ Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

⁶ And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

⁷ And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

⁸ And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.

⁹ And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

¹⁰ And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

¹¹ And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

⁴ And in that day his feet will be on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will be parted in the middle to the east and to the west, forming a very great valley; and half the mountain will be moved to the north and half of it to the south.

³ And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

⁷ And he gave orders to the twelve, and sent them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;

³⁰ And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.
