“Here He comes.” Thadeus nudged the fellow scribe next to him when he saw Jesus enter the gate of Jerusalem. They and the priests with them studied His every move.

THE COLT

SLAVES
Jesus was following the crowds to Jerusalem for the Passover. His followers were grumbling behind Him. Matthew: “I can’t believe we’re going back to Jerusalem. The last time we were there the priests tried to stone Him.” Bartholomew: “I know. I thought we’d stay incognito.
