5Say to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy King comes to thee,
Meek, and mounted upon an ass,
And upon a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.
6And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them, 7brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat thereon. 8And most of the multitude spread their own garments in the way; and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed in the way. 9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna[9] to the Son of David; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10And as he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying: Who is this? 11And the multitudes said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves. 13And he says to them: It is written,
My house shall be called a house of prayer;
But ye make it a den of robbers.
14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15But the chief priests and the scribes, seeing the wonders that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased, 16and said to him: Dost thou hear what these say? And Jesus says to them: Yea; did ye never read: From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou preparedst praise?
17And leaving them, he went forth out of the city into Bethany, and lodged there.
