Luke 19:28-40 ▼

28 And having said these, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it was as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Having said, Retire ye to the opposite town; in which entering, ye shall find a colt bound, upon which none of men at any time have sat: having loosed, bring him.

31 And if any ask you, Wherefore loose ye? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.

32 And the sent, having departed, found as he said to them.

33 And they loosing the colt, his lords said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and having cast their garments upon the colt, they placed Jesus upon.

36 And he going, they laid down their garments in the way.

37 And he already drawing near to the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a great voice for all the powers which they saw;

38 Saying, Praised the king coming in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest ones.

39 And certain of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, censure thy disciples.

40 And having answered, he said to them, I say to you, that if these should be silent, the stones shall cry out.
