Why Did Jesus Ride into the City of Jerusalem on a Donkey?

A prophecy! In the book of Zechariah, it says this, "Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is righteous and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9). This prophecy tells us that the king, or savior, will ride a donkey into the city of Jerusalem.
