They brought the colt to Jesus, put their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on it.
They quickly grabbed their cloaks and spread them on the bare steps. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
Be happy and celebrate, people of Zion! Shout loudly, people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He does what is right and has salvation; he is humble, riding on a donkey—on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
The disciples replied just as Jesus told them to, and the people let them go.
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others laid down leafy branches that they'd cut in the fields.
