The Triumphal Entry

Noah Webster Bible

Mat 21:1–11

1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose them , and bring them to me.
3 And if any man shall say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith to them, Go into the village over against you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring him .
3 And if any man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him hither.
4 And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there, said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our Father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round upon all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending towards Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you ; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither .
31 And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him ? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent, went and found even as he had said to them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he had come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had seen.
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

12 On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
