A reading from
the Book of the Prophet Zechariah9:9-10
Thus says the Lord:/ Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion,/ shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem!/ See, your king shall come to you;/ a just savior is he,/ meek, and riding on an ass,/ on a colt, the foal of an ass./ He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim,/ and the horse from Jerusalem;/ the warrior’s bow shall be banished,/ and he shall proclaim peace to the nations./ His dominion shall be from sea to sea,/ and from the River to the ends of the earth.
The word of the Lord.
