How it works
The Bible tells how Jesus and his friends walked up the road to Jerusalem. It was almost Passover, and the road was full of travelers.
Near the Mount of Olives Jesus sent two friends to a village. They found a young donkey, a colt, tied up, just as he had said. The friends put their cloaks on it, and Jesus rode it toward Jerusalem.
In those days a king who came for war rode a horse, and a king who came in peace rode a donkey. A big crowd spread their cloaks on the road, waved palm branches and shouted Hosanna.
Some leaders were worried. Jesus rode through the gate and into the temple, and he looked around at everything.
