Luke 19:28-40 ▼

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

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

30 saying, "Go your way into the village over against you , in which as ye are entering, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat; and, having loosed him, bring him.

31 And, if any one ask you, 'Why do ye loose him?' thus shall ye say, 'Because the Lord hath need of him.'"

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

33 And, as they were loosing the colt, his owners said to them, "Why loose ye the colt?"

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him."

35 And they led him to Jesus; and, having thrown their garments upon the colt, they sat Jesus thereon.

36 And, as He was going forward, they were spreading their garments in the way.

37 And, as He was already drawing nigh to the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they saw;

38 saying, "Blessed is the King Who is coming in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest!"

39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Thy disciples!"

40 And, answering, He said, "I tell you that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!"
