The King Comes: Matthew 21:1-11

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me."

The approach to Jerusalem. Jesus had been heading here since setting his face toward the city. Now the final week began.

A donkey and her colt. The instructions were precise—Jesus knew exactly where the animals would be. The detail was prophetic.

"If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
