Say that the Lord hath neede of him, and straightway he will send him hither. 4 And they went their way, and found a colt tyed by the doore without, in a place where two wayes met, and they loosed him. 5 Then certaine of them, that stoode there, sayd vnto them, What doe ye loosing the colt? 6 And they sayde vnto them, as Iesus had commanded them: So they let them goe. 7 And they brought the colte to Iesus, & cast their garments on him, and he sate vpon him. 8 And many spred their garments in the way: other cut downe branches off the trees, & strawed them in the way. 9 And they that went before, and they that folowed, cryed, saying, Hosanna: blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord. 10 Blessed be the kingdome that commeth in the Name of the Lorde of our father Dauid: Hosanna, O thou which art in the highest heauens.
