Matthew 21:7

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

They brought the donkey and its colt and spread their clothing on them, and Jesus mounted the colt.

See the chapter Copy

saying to them, “Go into the village there and immediately you will find a donkey tied up with her colt. Untie them and bring them to me.

And the disciples went and did exactly what Jesus had ordered them to do.

A large part of the crowd spread their clothing on the roadway; others cut branches from trees and spread them [also] on the roadway.
