This account from Mark is paralleled almost exactly in
Matthew.
And
when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, And saith unto
them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye
be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat;
loose him, and bring him.
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath
need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. And they went
their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where
two ways met; and they loose him. And certain of them that stood
there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? And they said unto
them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. And they brought
the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strewed them in the way. And they that went before,
and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our
father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the
highest. (Mark 11 v 1 - 10)
