Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone asks you why you are taking the donkeys, say that the Master needs them, and he will send them at once.” This was to bring about what the prophet had said: “Tell the people of Jerusalem, ‘Your king is coming to you.

Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The people were walking ahead of Jesus and behind him, shouting, “Praise to the Son of David!
