As he approaches the city ​ — riding on the colt of an ass in fulfillment of Zechariah 9: 9 — ​ most of the people that have gathered around him spread their outer garments on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them out.
Viņš iejāj pilsētā uz jauna ēzeļa — tā piepildās Cakarijas 9: 9 —, un daudzi cilvēki, kas pulcējas ap viņu, izklāj uz ceļa savas drēbes, bet citi cērt koku zarus un kaisa tos uz ceļa.
