Luke 19:28-40 ▼

28 And having said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the mount called Olivet, that He sent two of the disciples,

30 saying, “Go into the village ahead, in which, entering, you? will find a colt tied, on which no one of men ever sat; and having loosed it, bring it.

31 And if anyone may ask you?, ‘Why are you? loosing it?’ thus you? will say, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”

32 And having gone away, those sent found it just as He said to them.

33 And on their loosing the colt, its masters said to them, “Why are you? loosing the colt?”

34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”

35 And they led it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it.

36 And in His going, they were spreading their garments in the road.

37 And in His drawing near, already at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God in a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,

38 saying: “Blessed is the coming King in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

40 And answering, He said, “I say to you? that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out.”
