They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.
Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
They quickly took their cloaks and spread them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
