This Week's Readings:
Matthew 21:1-11(NIV)Jesus Comes to
Jerusalem as King
1As they approached
Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two
disciples,
2saying
to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will
find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he
will send them right away.”
4This
took place to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet:
5“Say
to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ” a
6The
disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7They
brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to
sit on.
8A
very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches
from the trees and spread them on the road.
9The
crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna
b to the Son of
David!”
“Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” c
“Hosanna
d in the highest
heaven!”
10When Jesus entered
Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11The crowds answered,
“This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
