8The Jewish people now came and asked Pilate to set a prisoner free, just as he usually did. 10Pilate knew that the chief priests had brought Jesus to him because they were jealous. 11But the chief priests told the crowd to ask Pilate to free Barabbas. The disciples led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back, and Jesus got on.
Many people spread clothes on the road, while others went to cut branches from the fields.
God bless the coming kingdom of our ancestor David. After Jesus had gone to Jerusalem, he went into the temple and looked around at everything. But since it was already late in the day, he went back to Bethany with the twelve disciples. And at that time there was a prisoner named Barabbas. He and some others had been arrested for murder during a riot.
