4. This happened in order to make what the prophet had said come true:
5. “Tell the city of Zion,Look, your king is coming to you!He is humble and rides on a donkeyand on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6. So the disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do:
7. they brought the donkey and the colt, threw their cloaks over them, and Jesus got on.
8. A large crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
