The apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives. It is just over half a mile from the city.

As they all approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage. It was on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent out two disciples.He said to them,“ Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you will find a donkey tied up. Her colt will be with her. Untie them and bring them to me.If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them. The owner will send them right away.”This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would come true. It says,“ Say to the city of Zion,‘ See, your king comes to you. He is gentle and riding on a donkey. He is riding on a donkey’s colt.’ ”( Zechariah 9:9)The disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.They brought the donkey and the colt. They placed their coats on them for Jesus to sit on.A very large crowd spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.Some of the people went ahead of him, and some followed. They all shouted,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up. The people asked,“ Who is this?”The crowds answered,“ This is Jesus. He is the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Jesus led his disciples out to the area near Bethany. Then he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

On that day he will stand on the Mount of Olives. It’s east of Jerusalem. It will be split in two from east to west. Half of the mountain will move north. The other half will move south. A large valley will be formed.

Then Jesus left the people and went out of the city to Bethany. He spent the night there.

Jesus came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives. There the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God with joy. In loud voices they praised him for all the miracles they had seen. They shouted,

Each day Jesus taught at the temple. And each evening he went to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives.

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives. His disciples followed him.

The next day the large crowd that had come for the feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.So they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet him. They shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the king of Israel!”Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it. This is just as it is written in Scripture. It says,“ City of Zion, do not be afraid. See, your king is coming. He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.”( Zechariah 9:9)At first, Jesus’ disciples did not understand all this. They realized it only after he had received glory. Then they realized that these things had been written about him. They realized that these things had been done to him.

As they all approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent out two of his disciples.He said to them,“ Go to the village ahead of you. Just as you enter it, you will find a donkey’s colt tied there. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here.Someone may ask you,‘ Why are you doing this?’ If so, say,‘ The Lord needs it. But he will send it back here soon.’ ”So they left. They found a colt out in the street. It was tied at a doorway. They untied it.Some people standing there asked,“ What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?”They answered as Jesus had told them to. So the people let them go.They brought the colt to Jesus. They threw their coats over it. Then he sat on it.Many people spread their coats on the road. Others spread branches they had cut in the fields.Those in front and those in back shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courtyard. He looked around at everything. But it was already late. So he went out to Bethany with the 12 disciples.
