The Triumphal Entry

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 21:1–11

1 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at or to the mount of Olives, then sent he his two disciples or then Jesus sent his two disciples,
2 and said to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you, and anon ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie ye, and bring to me.
3 And if any man say to you anything, say ye, that the Lord hath need to them; and anon he shall leave them.
4 All this was done, that that thing should be fulfilled, that was said by the prophet, saying,
5 Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy king cometh to thee, meek, sitting on an ass, and a foal or a colt of an ass under yoke.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded to them.
7 And they brought an ass, and the foal or the colt, and laid their clothes on them, and made him to sit above.
8 And full much people spreaded their clothes in the way; others cutted branches of trees, and strewed in the way.
9 And the people that went before, and that pursued, cried, and said, Hosanna to the son of David; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in high things or in the highest things.
10 And when he was entered into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, and said, Who is this?
11 But the people said, This is Jesus, the prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee.

1 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2 and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and anon as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet; untie ye, and bring him.
3 And if any man say anything to you, What do ye? say ye, that he is needful to the Lord, and anon, he shall leave him hither.
4 And they went forth, and found a colt tied before the gate withoutforth, in the meeting of two ways; and they untied him.
5 And some of them that stood there said to them, What do ye, untying the colt?
6 And they said to them, as Jesus commanded them; and they left it to them.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and they laid on him their clothes, and Jesus sat on him.
8 And many strewed their clothes in the way, and other men cutted branches or boughs off trees, and strewed in the way.
9 And they that went before, and that pursued, cried, and said, Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David that is to come; Hosanna in highest things or Hosanna in highest.
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had seen all things about, when it was evening, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.

28 And when these things were said, he went before, and went up to Jerusalem.
29 And it was done, when Jesus came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount, that is called of Olivet, he sent his two disciples,
30 and said, Go ye into the castle that is against you; into which as ye enter, ye shall find a colt of an ass tied, on which never man sat; untie ye him, and bring ye to me.
31 And if any man ask you, why ye untie, thus ye shall say to him, For the Lord desireth his work.
32 And they that were sent, went forth, and found as he said to them, a colt standing.
33 And when they untied the colt, the lords of it said to them, What or Why untie ye the colt?
34 And they said, For the Lord hath need to him.
35 And they led him to Jesus; and they casted their clothes on the colt, and set or put Jesus on him.
36 And when he went, they spreaded their clothes in the way.
37 And when he came nigh to the coming down of the mount of Olivet, all the people that came down began to joy, and to praise God with great voice on all the virtues, that they had seen,
38 and said, Blessed be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in high things.
39 And some of the Pharisees of the people said to him, Master, blame thy disciples.
40 And he said to them, I say to you, for if these be still, stones shall cry.

12 But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on him, as it is written,
15 The daughter of Zion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s foal or on the colt of a she-ass.
