Zechariah 9:9 (New International Version, ©2011)

9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

∙ 11y agoAll prophecy has to be fulfilled. In the Book of Zechariah 9:9 we find this prophecy.
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee; he is just and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass (KJV). When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on what Christians call Palm Sunday he was fulfilling prophecy. Sadly the people of Israel did not recognize Jesus as their King (Messiah). This is just once instance of Jesus fulfulling prophecy.

What did Jesus ride into Jerusalem at the Passover?
Mark's Gospel, followed by both Luke and John, simply had Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a colt, but Matthew expanded the story, making it seem ridiculous:21:2 Go into the village over against you and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose them and bring them unto me. 21:5 Behold thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass and a colt the foal of an ass 21:7 And they brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.So, in Mark, Luke and John, Jesus rode a colt or young ass into Jerusalem. In Matthew, Jesus rode both an ass and a colt, apparently at the same time.

What did Jesus send two of His disciples to do before He entered Jerusalem?
According to Matt 21:1-7, he told them that "Just as you enter," he said, "you will see a donkey tied there, with its colt beside it. Untie them and bring them here. If anyone asks you what you are doing, just say, 'The Master needs them,' and there will be no trouble." This was done to fulfill the ancient prophecy, "Tell Jerusalem her King is coming to her, riding humbly on a donkey's colt!" The two disciples did as Jesus said, and brought the animals to him and threw their garments over the colt for him to ride on. Here is the ancient prophecy: "Rejoice greatly, O my people! Shout with joy! For look--your King is coming! He is the Righteous One, the Victor! Yet he is lowly, riding on a donkey's colt! Zech 9:9
