1. AND when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2. And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat: loose him, and bring him.
3. And if any man shall say to you, What are you doing? say ye that the Lord hath need of him: and immediately he will let him come hither.
4. And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways: and they loose him.
5. And some of them that stood there, said to them: What do you loosing the colt?
6. Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them; and they let him go with them.
7. And they brought the colt to Jesus; and they lay their garments on him, and he sat upon him.
8. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
