The disciples did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put their coats on them for Jesus to sit on.  Most of the people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.  The crowd that went ahead of him and that followed him was shouting,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!
    Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

When Jesus came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. People were asking, “Who is this?”

The crowd answered, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
