CHAP. XXI.

AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage to the
mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, (2)saying to them, Go
into the village, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find
an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring them to me. (3)And if
any man say aught to you, ye shall tell them, That the Lord hath need
of them, and immediately he will send them. (4)Now this was entirely
done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
(5)"Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and
