eon no man has sat;
loose and bring him. (3)And if any one say to you: Why do ye this?
say: The Lord has need of him; and straightway he will send him
hither. (4)And they departed, and found a colt tied by the door
without, on the street; and they loose him. (5)And some of those
standing there, said to them: What do ye, loosing the colt? (6)And
they said to them as Jesus commanded; and they let them go. (7)And
they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he
sat upon him. (8)And many spread their garments in the way, and others
branches, cutting them from the fields[11:8]. (9)And they that went
before, and they that followed, cried: Hosanna! blessed is he that
comes in the name of the Lord; (10)blessed is the coming kingdom of

(20)And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dried up from
