¹⁹Open for me the gates^(A) of the righteous;
I will enter^(B) and give thanks to the Lord.
²⁰This is the gate of the Lord^(C)
through which the righteous may enter.^(D)
21I will give you thanks, for you answered me;^(E)
you have become my salvation.^(F)

²²The stone^(G) the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;^(H)
23the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous^(I) in our eyes.
²⁴The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.^(J)

²⁵Lord, save us!^(K)
Lord, grant us success!

²⁶Blessed is he who comes^(L) in the name of the Lord.
From the house of the Lord we bless you.^[a](M)
27The Lord is God,^(N)
and he has made his light shine^(O) on us.
With boughs in hand,^(P) join in the festal procession
up^[b] to the horns of the altar.^(Q)

²⁸You are my God, and I will praise you;
you are my God,^(R) and I will exalt^(S) you.

²⁹Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:^(A)

⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
being made in human likeness.^(F)
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
11and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King^(A)(B)

11As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany^(C) at the Mount of Olives,^(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, ²saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.^(E) Untie it and bring it here. ³If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”

⁴They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.^(F) As they untied it, ⁵some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” ⁶They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. ⁷When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. ⁸Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. ⁹Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,

“Hosanna!^[a]”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”^[b](G)

¹⁰“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”^(H)

¹¹Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.^(I)
