		+	''Zechariah 9:9''
		+	''“Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
		+	See, your king comes to you,
		+	righteous and victorious,
		+	lowly and riding on a donkey,
		+	on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”''
		+
		+	This verse foretells that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem not as a conquering warrior on a horse, but as a humble king riding a donkey. In ancient Jewish culture, a donkey symbolized peace and humility.
		+
		+	=== New Testament Fulfillment ===
		+	''Matthew 21:4–5''
		+	''“This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
		+	‘Say to Daughter Zion,
		+	See, your king comes to you,
		+	gentle and riding on a donkey,
		+	and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”''
		+
		+	Jesus’ deliberate entry into Jerusalem riding a donkey during the Passover fulfilled this prophecy publicly and symbolically, identifying Him as the expected king, yet not a political revolutionary.
		+
		+	=== Commentary ===
		+	Jesus’ choice to ride a donkey was a powerful, intentional sign that He was fulfilling the messianic expectations in a way that confounded popular hopes. He came not to overthrow Rome, but to bring peace through self-sacrifice.
