Zechariah 9:9

The Coming King of Zion

9  iRejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Behold, your king is coming to you;

righteous and having salvation is he,

jhumble and kmounted on a donkey,

on a colt, the foal of a donkey.


Isaiah 62:11

11  Behold, the Lord has proclaimed

to the end of the earth:

zSay to the daughter of Zion,

“Behold, your salvation acomes;

behold, bhis reward is with him,

and his recompense before him.”


John 12:13–14

13 So they took branches of kpalm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, l“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the mKing of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,


Matthew 21:1–11

The Triumphal Entry

1 zNow when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The aLord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place bto fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5  c“Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Behold, your king is coming to you,

dhumble, and mounted on a donkey,

on a colt,1 the foal of a beast of burden.’”

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd espread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, f“Hosanna to the gSon of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the hprophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
