28 E dette queste cose, Gesù andava innanzi, salendo a Gerusalemme.

29 E avvenne che come fu vicino a Betfage e a Betania presso al monte detto degli Ulivi, mandò due de iscepoli, dicendo:

30 Andate nella borgata dirimpetto, nella quale entrando, troverete legato un puledro dasino, sopra il quale non è mai montato alcuno; scioglietelo e menatemelo.

31 E se qualcuno vi domanda perché lo sciogliete, direte così: Il Signore ne ha bisogno.

32 E quelli cherano mandati, partirono e trovarono le cose comegli avea lor detto.

33 E comessi scioglievano il puledro, i suoi padroni dissero loro: Perché sciogliete il puledro?

34 Essi risposero: Il Signore ne ha bisogno.

35 E lo menarono a Gesù; e gettati i loro mantelli sul puledro, vi fecero montar Gesù.

36 E mentre egli andava innanzi, stendevano i loro mantelli sulla via.

37 E comera già presso la città, alla scesa del monte degli Ulivi, tutta la moltitudine dei discepoli cominciò con allegrezza a lodare Iddio a gran voce per tutte le opere potenti che aveano vedute,

38 dicendo: Benedetto il Re che viene nel nome del Signore; pace in cielo e gloria ne luoghi altissimi!

39 E alcuni de Farisei di tra la folla gli dissero: Maestro, sgrida i tuoi discepoli!

40 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse: Io vi dico che se costoro si tacciono, le pietre grideranno.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now 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 be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
