¹ And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

¹² Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;

¹ And at dawn he came again to the temple,

³⁰ And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives;

³ And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what `is' the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

³⁷ And he was during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called of Olives;

⁴ And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of Olives, That `is' before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the mount towards the north. And its half towards the south.

¹ And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

² and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring `it':

³ and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

⁴ And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

⁵ and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

⁶ and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

⁷ And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

⁸ and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

⁹ And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed `is' he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

¹⁰ blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'

³⁹ And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him,

²⁸ And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰ having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring `it';

³¹ and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose `it'? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.'

³² And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,

³³ and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, `Why loose ye the colt?'

³⁴ and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;'

³⁵ and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

³⁶ And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

³⁷ and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

³⁸ saying, `blessed `is' he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

²⁶ And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives,
