4. This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:
5. “Tell the people of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
6. So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
8. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
