9:9 Rejoice greatly, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey – even on donkey’s colt.
NT
17:3 And this is the way to have eternal life – to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.
:15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
