John 12:12

On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

They *brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it.

They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.
