CHAP. XXI.
1. AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were to come to Bethphage to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two Disciples. 2. Saying to them, Go into the Village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an Ass tied, and a Colt with her, loose them and bring them to me. 3. And if any man say ought to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them, and straightway he will send them. 4. All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, 5. Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee meek, sitting on an ass and a colt the foal of an ass.

Saying to them, Go into the Village over against you, and straitway ye shall find an Ass tyed, and a Colt with her, loose them and bring them to me. 3. And if any man say ought to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them, and straitway he will send them. 4. All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, 5.

1. &c. Note, Christs way of Travail was as poor mens, on Foot: And it was the rich sort of persons that road on Asses, (they being there bigger than ours,) and only Men of great State or War that rode on Horses. And Christ knowing that the People would at his Entrance into Jerusalem, applaud him with Hosanna, as the Messiah and King of the Jews, resolved to own their Testimony so far, as to ride in, in some State. 2. Tho both the Ass and Colt be loosed, and brought; it was the Colt only that Christ rode on.
