28 And having said these things, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, as He drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, to the mountain which is called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

30 saying, "Go into the village opposite you, in which when you enter you will find a colt tied up, on which no one of men has ever sat. Loose him and bring [him] [here].

31 And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing [him]?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of him.' "

32 So those who were sent departed and found it just as He told them.

33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"

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

35 Then they brought him to Jesus. And when they threw their own clothes on the colt, they set Jesus on him.

36 And as He went, they were spreading their clothes under [Him] on the road.

37 And as He was approaching 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 miracles which 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 said to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

40 But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."
