Luke 19: 28 - 40
|
| 28
|
And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
|
| 29
|
When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
|
| 30
|
saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here.
|
| 31
|
If any one asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'"
|
| 32
|
So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them.
|
| 33
|
And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
|
| 34
|
And they said, "The Lord has need of it."
|
| 35
|
And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.
|
| 36
|
And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.
|
| 37
|
As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
|
| 38
|
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
|
| 39
|
And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
|
| 40
|
He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."
