172:3.1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] was about two miles from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple the temple], and it was half past one that Sunday afternoon when [[Jesus]] made ready to start for [[Jerusalem]]. He had [[feelings]] of [[profound]] [[affection]] for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] and its [[simple]] people. [[Nazareth]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], and [[Jerusalem]] had [[rejected]] him, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany] had [[accepted]] him, had [[believed]] in him.

He did not raise [[Lazarus]] that the villagers might [[believe]], but rather because they already believed.

172:3.2 All [[morning]] [[Jesus]] had [[thought]] about his entry into [[Jerusalem]]. Heretofore he had always endeavored to [[suppress]] all [[public]] [[acclaim]] of him as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah], but it was [[different]] now; he was nearing the end of his [[career]] in the [[flesh]], his [[death]] had been [[decreed]] by the [[Sanhedrin]], and no [[harm]] could come from allowing his [[disciples]] to give [[free]] [[expression]] to their [[feelings]], just as might occur if he [[elected]] to make a [[formal]] and [[public]] entry into the [[city]].

172:3.3 [[Jesus]] did not [[decide]] to make this [[public]] entrance into [[Jerusalem]] as a last bid for [[popular]] [[favor]] nor as a final grasp for [[power]]. Neither did he do it altogether to [[satisfy]] the [[human]] [[longings]] of his [[disciples]] and [[apostles]]. [[Jesus]] entertained none of the [[illusions]] of a [[fantastic]] [[dreamer]]; he well [[knew]] what was to be the outcome of this [[visit]].

172:3.4 Having [[decided]] upon making a [[public]] entrance into [[Jerusalem]], [[the Master]] was [[confronted]] with the [[necessity]] of [[choosing]] a proper [[method]] of [[executing]] such a [[resolve]]. [[Jesus]] [[thought]] over all of the many more or less [[contradictory]] so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism Messianic prophesies], but there seemed to be only one which was at all appropriate for him to follow. Most of these [[prophetic]] utterances depicted a [[king]], the son and successor of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David David], a [[bold]] and [[aggressive]] [[temporal]] deliverer of all [[Israel]] from the [[yoke]] of [[foreign]] [[domination]]. But there was one [[Scripture]] that had sometimes been [[associated]] with the [[Messiah]] by those who held more to the [[spiritual]] [[concept]] of his [[mission]], which [[Jesus]] [[thought]] might [[consistently]] be taken as a [[guide]] for his [[projected]] entry into [[Jerusalem]]. This [[Scripture]] was found in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Zechariah Zechariah], and it said: " [[Rejoice]] greatly, O daughter of [[Zion]]; shout, O daughter of [[Jerusalem]].

172:3.6 [[Jesus]] had long tried by direct [[teaching]] to impress upon his [[apostles]] and his [[disciples]] that [[the kingdom|his kingdom]] was not of this world, that it was a [[purely]] [[spiritual]] matter; but he had not [[succeeded]] in this [[effort]]. Now, what he had [[failed]] to do by [[plain]] and [[personal]] [[teaching]], he would attempt to accomplish by a [[symbolic]] [[appeal]]. Accordingly, right after the noon lunch, [[Jesus]] called [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and [[John, the Apostle|John]], and after directing them to go over to Bethpage, a [[neighboring]] village a little off the main road and a short distance northwest of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany], he further said: " Go to Bethpage, and when you come to the junction of the roads, you will find the colt of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey ass] tied there.

"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_19] And when the [[two]] [[apostles]] had gone into Bethpage as [[the Master]] had directed, they found the colt tied near his [[mother]] in the open street and close to a house on the corner. As [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] began to untie the colt, the owner came over and asked why they did this, and when [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] answered him as [[Jesus]] had directed, the man said: " If your Master is [[Jesus]] from [[Galilee]], let him have the colt.

172:3.7 By this time several hundred [[pilgrims]] had gathered around [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]]. Since midforenoon the [[visitors]] passing by on their way to the [[Passover]] had tarried. Meanwhile, [[David Zebedee]] and some of his former [[messenger]] [[associates]] took it upon themselves to hasten on down to [[Jerusalem]], where they [[effectively]] spread the report among the throngs of [[visiting]] [[pilgrims]] about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple the temple] that [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] was making a [[triumphal]] entry into the [[city]]. Accordingly, several thousand of these [[visitors]] flocked forth to greet this much-talked-of [[prophet]] and [[wonder]]-worker, whom some [[believed]] to be the [[Messiah]]. This multitude, coming out from [[Jerusalem]], met [[Jesus]] and the crowd going into the [[city]] just after they had passed over the brow of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Olivet] and had begun the [[descent]] into the [[city]].

172:3.8 As the [[procession]] started out from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany Bethany], there was great [[enthusiasm]] among the festive crowd of [[disciples]], [[believers]], and [[visiting]] [[pilgrims]], many hailing from [[Galilee]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea_(Holy_Land) Perea]. Just before they started, the [[twelve]] [[women]] of the [[original]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_150#150:1._THE_WOMEN.27S_EVANGELISTIC_CORPS women's corps], accompanied by some of their [[associates]], arrived on the scene and joined this [[unique]] [[procession]] as it moved on [[joyously]] toward the [[city]].

172:3.9 Before they started, the [[Alpheus twins]] put their cloaks on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey donkey] and held him while [[the Master]] got on. As the [[procession]] moved toward the [[summit]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Olivet], the festive crowd threw their [[garments]] on the ground and brought branches from the near-by trees in order to make a carpet of [[honor]] for the donkey bearing the royal [[Creator Son|Son]], the [[promised]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism Messiah]. As the merry crowd moved on toward [[Jerusalem]], they began to [[sing]], or rather to shout in unison, the Psalm, " Hosanna to the son of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David David]; [[blessed]] is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. [[Blessed]] be [[the kingdom]] that comes down from [[heaven]]. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Psalms#Psalm_118]

172:3.11 When he had finished [[speaking]], they began the [[descent]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Olivet] and presently were joined by [[the multitude]] of [[visitors]] who had come from [[Jerusalem]] waving [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_trees palm branches], shouting hosannas, and otherwise [[expressing]] [[Joy|gleefulness]] and [[good]] fellowship.
