Matthew 21:4-11
New King James Version
4 [a]All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 “Tell(A) the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”
6 (B)So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt, (C)laid their clothes on them, [b]and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; (D)others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
(E)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”
10 (F)And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, (G)the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

New International Version
4 This took place to fulfill(A) what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[a](B)
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks(C) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(G) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
