28 And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

30 Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

31 And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.

32 And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.

33 And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

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

35 And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

36 And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.

37 And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

38 Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

40 And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

28 E, dito isto, ia caminhando adiante, subindo para Jerusalém.

29 E aconteceu que, chegando perto de Betfagé, e de Betânia, ao monte chamado das Oliveiras, mandou dois dos seus discípulos,

30 Dizendo: Ide à aldeia que está defronte, e aí, ao entrar, achareis preso um jumentinho em que nenhum homem ainda montou; soltai-o e trazei-o.

31 E, se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o soltais? Assim lhe direis: Porque o Senhor o há de mister.

32 E, indo os que haviam sido mandados, acharam como lhes dissera.

33 E, quando soltaram o jumentinho, seus donos lhes disseram: Por que soltais o jumentinho?

34 E eles responderam: O Senhor o há de mister.

35 E trouxeram-no a Jesus; e, lançando sobre o jumentinho as suas vestes, puseram Jesus em cima.

36 E, indo ele, estendiam no caminho as suas vestes.

37 E, quando já chegava perto da descida do Monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos, regozijando-se, começou a dar louvores a Deus em alta voz, por todas as maravilhas que tinham visto,

38 Dizendo: Bendito o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor; paz no céu, e glória nas alturas.

39 E disseram-lhe de entre a multidão alguns dos fariseus: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos.

40 E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Digo-vos que, se estes se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão.
