Matthew 21:3

Read in context

Matthew 21:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

3 If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5 “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
