They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the animal, and Jesus got on.
At once Jehu's fellow officers spread their cloaks at the top of the steps for Jehu to stand on, blew trumpets, and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
Rejoice, rejoice, people of Zion! Shout for joy, you people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you! He comes triumphant and victorious, but humble and riding on a donkey— on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
They answered just as Jesus had told them, and the crowd let them go.
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches in the field and spread them on the road.
