Well that's embarrassing! The scheduled post today seem to have left a gap of four verses! So here they are.
19:28-31
Jesus is getting ever closer to Jerusalem, we are now at what we call Palm Sunday. Bethphage was probably a village near the road from Jericho to Jerusalem, though its exact location is not known. Bethany was about two miles from Jerusalem, and was where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived (John 11:18). Two unnamed disciples were sent on ahead to the next village, possibly Bethphage. There they would find a colt tied up and they were to bring it to Jesus. All the events were planned long ago. We need to understand that in the Bible there is no conflict between God’s sovereignty, human responsibility and the reality of life. Ie we are not just actors in a play, but at the same time there is a script.
