When they
heard that Jesus was passing by, two blind men, who were sitting by the
wayside, cried out, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. The
multitude told them to keep quiet. But they cried more, saying, Have
mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
Jesus stood still and said to them, What shall I do for you? They
answered, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. Jesus had compassion and
touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and they
followed Him.
21 As they drew close to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage by
the mount of Olives. Jesus sent two disciples ahead and said, Go into
the village and ye shall find tied there an ass with her colt. Untie
them and bring them to me. If a man says anything to you, say, The Lord
has need of them and, straightway, he will send them. All this was done
so this saying of the prophet might be fulfilled: Tell ye the daughter
of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon a
colt, the foal of an ass.
The disciples did as Jesus directed. They brought the ass and the colt
and set Jesus thereupon. A multitude spread out their garments and
others cut down tree branches and lined the way. They cried out,
Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is He that comes in the name of
the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. When Jesus came into Jerusalem, all
the city was stirred.
