On the Sunday before
his death, Jesus began his trip to Jerusalem, knowing that soon he would lay
down his life for the sins of the world. Nearing the village of Bethphage, he
sent two of his disciples ahead to look for a donkey with its unbroken colt.
Jesus instructed the disciples to untie the animals and bring them to him.
Then Jesus sat on the
young donkey and slowly, humbly, made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem,
fulfilling the ancient prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. The crowds welcomed him by
waving palm branches in the air and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
On Palm Sunday, Jesus
and his disciples spent the night in Bethany, a town about two miles east of
Jerusalem. In all likelihood, Jesus stayed in the home of Mary, Martha, and
Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
