This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
