Matthew 21 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

Jesus Enters Jerusalem(Mark 11.1-11; Luke 19.28-38; John 12.12-19)

2He told them, “Go into the next village, where you will at once find a donkey and her colt. Untie the two donkeys and bring them to me.

3If anyone asks why you are doing this, just say, ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will at once let you have the donkeys.”

46So they looked for a way to arrest Jesus. But they were afraid to, because the people thought he was a prophet.
