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.

JESUS Sends the Disciples to Borrow a Donkey

Matthew 21. 1. [1]And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage[2] , unto the mount of Olives, then sent JESUS two disciples,[3]

AΩ 2. Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find a donkey[4] tied, and a colt with her (whereon [5]never man sat) : loose them, and bring them unto me.

3. And if any man say ought unto you, (Why[6] do ye loose him )ye shall say, The LORD hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

4. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

AΩ 5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, (Fear not, daughter of Sion)[7] Behold, thy King cometh unto thee[8], meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the he-foal of a donkey.[9]

Matthew 21. 6. And the disciples went, and did as JESUS commanded them…

Mark 11.4. And they went their way, and found the colt[10] 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 unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

Mark 11.6. And they said unto 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.

(Matthew 21.7 they set him thereon.)

The Disciples Do Not Understand

AΩ John 12. 16. These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when JESUS was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

17. The people therefore that was with him when He called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

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.

Pharisees Object

The Stones Would Praise Him
