They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and Jesus sat on it.
Then the officers hurried, and each man took off his own coat and put it on the stairs for Jehu. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
Rejoice greatly, people of Jerusalem! Shout for joy, people of Jerusalem! Your king is coming to you. He does what is right, and he saves. He is gentle and riding on a donkey, on the colt of a donkey.
The followers answered the way Jesus told them to answer, and the people let them take the colt.
Many people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches in the fields and spread them on the road.
