¹ και οτε εγγιζουσιν εις ιερουσαλημ εις βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος των ελαιων αποστελλει δυο των μαθητων αυτου

² και λεγει αυτοις υπαγετε εις την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων και ευθεως εισπορευομενοι εις αυτην ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις ανθρωπων κεκαθικεν λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε

³ και εαν τις υμιν ειπη τι ποιειτε τουτο ειπατε οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει και ευθεως αυτον αποστελλει ωδε

⁴ απηλθον δε και ευρον [τον] πωλον δεδεμενον προς την θυραν εξω επι του αμφοδου και λυουσιν αυτον

⁵ και τινες των εκει εστηκοτων ελεγον αυτοις τι ποιειτε λυοντες τον πωλον

⁶ οι δε ειπον αυτοις καθως ενετειλατο ο ιησους και αφηκαν αυτους

⁷ και ηγαγον τον πωλον προς τον ιησουν και επεβαλον αυτω τα ιματια αυτων και εκαθισεν επ αυτω

⁸ πολλοι δε τα ιματια αυτων εστρωσαν εις την οδον αλλοι δε στοιβαδας εκοπτον εκ των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εις την οδον

⁹ και οι προαγοντες και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον λεγοντες ωσαννα ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι κυριου

¹⁰ ευλογημενη η ερχομενη βασιλεια εν ονοματι κυριου του πατρος ημων δαυιδ ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις

¹¹ και εισηλθεν εις ιεροσολυμα ο ιησους και εις το ιερον και περιβλεψαμενος παντα οψιας ηδη ουσης της ωρας εξηλθεν εις βηθανιαν μετα των δωδεκα

¹ When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

² and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

³ If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."

⁴ They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

⁵ Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"

⁶ They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

⁷ They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

⁸ Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

⁹ Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

¹⁰ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

¹¹ Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
