Första Advent – Advent Sunday
När de närmade sig Jerusalem och kom till Betfage vid
Olivberget skickade Jesus i väg två lärjungar och sade till dem: ”Gå bort till byn där framme, så hittar ni
genast ett åsnesto som står bundet med ett föl bredvid sig. Ta dem och led hit
dem. Om någon säger något skall ni svara: Herren behöver dem, men han skall
strax skicka tillbaka dem.” Detta hände för att det som sagts genom
profeten skulle uppfyllas: Säg till dotter Sion: Se, din konung kommer till
dig, ödmjuk och ridande på en åsna och på ett föl, ett lastdjurs föl.
Lärjungarna gick bort och gjorde så som Jesus hade sagt åt dem. De hämtade
åsnan och fölet och lade sina mantlar på dem, och han satt upp. Många i
folkmassan bredde ut sina mantlar på vägen, andra skar kvistar från träden och
strödde dem på vägen. Och folket, både de som gick före och de som följde
efter, ropade: ”Hosianna Davids son!
Välsignad är han som kommer i Herrens namn. Hosianna i höjden!”
Matt 21:1-9
Matt 21:1-9
As they
approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent
two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and
at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and
bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord
needs them, and he will send them right away.”
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
“Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:1-9
