Jesus entered Jerusalem humbly, but like a king.

Luke 19:28-40; Matthew 21:1-9; Mark 11:1-10; John 12:12-15

28 After Jesus said those things, he continued on the road up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples. 29 When they got near Bethphage and Bethany villages, near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive Tree Hill, 30 he said to two of his disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of you. As you two enter it, you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it to me. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ” 32 So the two disciples went to the village and found the animal, just like he had told them. 33 As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?” 34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” So the owners said that they could take it. 35 The two disciples brought the animal to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back for him to sit on and helped Jesus get on it. 36 Then as he rode along, others spread their cloaks on the road to honor him. 37 As they came near to Jerusalem, on the road that descends from Olive Tree Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen Jesus do. 38 They were saying things like, “May the Lord God bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace between God in heaven and us his people!” “May everyone praise God!” 39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout to praise me!”
