Jesus Enters Jerusalem
Jesus and his disciples were approaching Jerusalem. They came to a place called Bethphage, near the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus sent two of his disciples.
—Go to the village ahead of you —he said—. At once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say: "The Lord needs them." And he will send them right away.
The disciples went and did as Jesus had told them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them where Jesus was going to pass.
And the crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted:
—Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred.
—Who is this? —the people asked.
—This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee —the crowds answered.
Every year we remember this feast on Palm Sunday, with palm branches in our hands and singing praises to Jesus.
Let's talk: How would you sing "Hosanna" to Jesus?
You can softly sing to Jesus: "Hosanna!" Goodnight.
