XLVI.
Goes to Jerusalem and Bethany.
AND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto 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 unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
5 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
6 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
7 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
8 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
9 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
10 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
11 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
12 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
13 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
14 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
