020:029 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
020:030 two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that it was Jesus
who was passing by, and cried aloud, "Sir, Son of David, pity us."
020:031 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all
the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
020:032 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do
for you?" He asked.
020:033 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
020:034 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately
they regained their sight and followed Him.
021:001 When they were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage
and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples
on in front,
021:002 saying to them, "Go to the village you see facing you, and as you
enter it you will find a she-ass tied up and a foal with her.
Untie her and bring them to me.
021:003 And if any one says anything to you, say, `The Master needs them,'
and he will at once send them."
021:004 This took place in order that the Prophet's prediction
might be fulfilled:
021:005 "Tell the Daughter of Zion, `See, thy King is coming to thee,
gentle, and yet mounted on an ass, even on a colt the foal
of a beast of burden.'"
021:006 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them:
021:007 they brought the she-ass and the foal, and threw their outer
garments on them. So He sat on them;
021:008 and most of the crowd kept spreading their garments along
the road, while others cut branches from the trees and carpeted
the road with them,
021:009 and the multitudes--some of the people preceding Him
