And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
