011:001 When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at
Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent
two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.
011:002 "Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately
on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no
one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.
011:003 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master
needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"
011:004 So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door
of a house. They were untying it,
011:005 when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing,
untying the foal?"
011:006 But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give,
they let them take it.
011:007 So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer
garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
011:008 Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road,
and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
011:009 while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting
"God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
011:010 Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in
the highest Heavens save Him!"
