Luke 19:35-48 ▼

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.”

41 And as He drew near, having seen the city, He wept over it,

42 saying, “If you knew in this day, even you, the things for peace! But now they were hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come upon you, and your enemies will cast around you a barricade, and they will surround you and will hem you in on every side.

44 And they will level you to the ground, and your children in you, and they will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not know the season of your visitation.”

45 And having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling,

46 saying to them, “It has been written: ‘And My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you? made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

47 And He was teaching every day in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the foremost of the people were seeking to destroy Him.

48 And they were not finding what they might do; for all the people were hanging on Him, hearing.
