Why did Jesus choose such a humble entrance (riding on a donkey) when He came into Jerusalem?

Jesus choose such a humble entrance to fulfill the words of the prophets. Though Jesus was the King of Kings he was always humble and loving and had to hatred towards anyone. That is why the multitude followed him where ever he went.

Woman in Adultrey

When Jesus calls for the one without sin to cast the first stone he accomplishes several things: it relieves him from the charge of having instigated a stoning; it ensures there will not be a stoning, since none of the accusers will want to take responsibility for it; and it causes them to reflect on their own sinfulness before God. It has often been suggested that the eldest accusers were the first to leave (v. 9) because they recognized their own sinfulness more readily. However, leaving in this order may simply reflect the custom of deferring to the elders. In any case, their withdrawal was in fact a confession of sin. Those who came to condemn ended up condemning themselves by not casting a stone.
