No one has ever sat on it. Untie it and bring it here. and bring it here. ” The disciples brought the donkey to Jesus, threw their robes onto the donkey, and helped Jesus get on. People spread their robes along the road, and others spread palm branches cut from the fields. “Hosanna!” the people said. “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Some religious leaders asked Jesus to tell His disciples to be quiet. Jesus answered, “If they did not praise Me, the rocks would praise Me!” While Jesus was in the temple, people who were blind and people who were lame came to Him. Jesus healed them. Other religious leaders heard the children saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” They were very angry and asked Jesus, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” “Yes,” Jesus told them. The writer of the Psalms had said, “You have prepared praise from the mouths of children and nursing infants.” Jesus left them and went to the town of Bethany to spend the night. Christ Connection: During Jesus’ triumphal entry, the people welcomed Him as King. Jesus was the Messiah spoken about by the prophet Zechariah: “Look, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey , on a colt, the foal of a donkey ” (Zechariah 9:9). One day , Jesus will return to earth on a white horse as King over everything. (Revelation 19:11) 1
