Chapter 118: Entrance into Jerusalem

The Bacon Gospels -- Buy 'em!

1 Unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two warriors, 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 show your sword; 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 Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass laden with his weapons.

6 And the warriors went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut trophies from the dead they had slain in his name, and strew them in the way.

9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, 10 saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
