Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it, and he sat on it.
Then they quickly spread out their cloaks on the bare steps and blew the ram’s horn, shouting, “Jehu is king!”
Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt.
They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it.
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields.
