Matthew 21:1-9 GNB ...As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives. There Jesus sent two of the disciples on ahead (2) with these instructions: "Go to the village there ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied up with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to me. (3) And if anyone says anything, tell him, 'The Master needs them'; and then he will let them go at once." (4) This happened in order to make come true what the prophet had said: (5) "Tell the city of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you! He is humble and rides on a donkey and on a colt, the foal of a donkey." [Isa 62:11; Zech 9:9] (6) So the disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do: (7) they brought the donkey and the colt, threw their cloaks over them, and Jesus got on. (8) A large crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. (9) The crowds walking in front of Jesus and those walking behind began to shout, "Praise to David's Son! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord ()! Praise be to God!" [Psa 118:26]
Matthew 21:1-9 LITV ...And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came into Bethphage, toward the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, (2) saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Loosening, lead them to Me. (3) And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them. And he will send them at once. (4) But all this happened that might be fulfilled that spoken by the prophet, saying: (5) "Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek and mounted on an ass, even a colt, the son of an ass." [Isa 62:11; Zech 9:9] (6) And the disciples, having gone and having done as Jesus ordered them, (7) they led the ass and the colt. And they put on them their garments, and set Him on them. (8) And the very great crowd strewed their garments in the road. And others were cutting branches from the trees and were spreading them in the way. (9) And the crowd, the ones going before and the ones following, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! "Blessed is He coming in the name of the Lord ()"! Hosanna in the highest! [Psa 118:26]
Matthew 21:1-9 CEV When Jesus and his disciples came near Jerusalem, he went to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives and sent two of them on ahead. (2) He told them, "Go into the next village, where you will at once find a donkey and her colt. Untie the two donkeys and bring them to me. (3) If anyone asks why you are doing that, just say, 'The Lord needs them.' Right away he will let you have the donkeys." (4) So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, (5) "Announce to the people of Jerusalem: 'Your king is coming to you! He is humble and rides on a donkey. He comes on the colt of a donkey.' " [Isa 62:11; Zech 9:9] (6) The disciples left and did what Jesus had told them to do. (7) They brought the donkey and its colt and laid some clothes on their backs. Then Jesus got on. (8) Many people spread clothes in the road, while others put down branches which they had cut from trees. (9) Some people walked ahead of Jesus and others followed behind. They were all shouting, "Hooray for the Son of David! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord (). Hooray for God in heaven above!" [Psa 118:26]
Matthew 21:1-9 NWT ...Well, when they got close to Jerusalem and arrived at Beth´pha·ge on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent forth two disciples, 2 saying to them: “Be on YOUR way into the village that is within sight of YOU, and YOU will at once find an ass tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3 And if someone says anything to YOU, YOU must say, ‘The Lord needs them.’ At that he will immediately send them forth.” 4 This actually took place that there might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet, saying: 5 “TELL the daughter of Zion, ‘Look! Your King is coming to you, mild-tempered, and mounted upon an ass, yes, upon a colt, the offspring of a beast of burden.’” [Isa 62:11; Zech 9:9] 6 So the disciples got on their way and did just as Jesus ordered them. 7 And they brought the ass and its colt, and they put upon these their outer garments, and he seated himself upon them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their outer garments on the road, while others began cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9 As for the crowds, those going ahead of him and those following kept crying out: “Save, we pray, the Son of David! Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's () name! Save him, we pray, in the heights above!” [Psa 118:26]
