1
When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
2
and said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it.
3
If anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?' just say this, "The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.' "
4
They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it,
5
some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
6
They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it.
