28 Depois de dizer isso, Jesus foi adiante, subindo para Jerusalém.

29 Ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, no monte chamado das Oliveiras, enviou dois dos seus discípulos, dizendo-lhes:

30 "Vão ao povoado que está adiante e, ao entrarem, encontrarão um jumentinho amarrado, no qual ninguém jamais montou. Desamarrem-no e tragam-no aqui.

31 Se alguém lhes perguntar: ‘Por que o estão desamarrando? ’ digam-lhe: ‘O Senhor precisa dele’ ".

32 Os que tinham sido enviados foram e encontraram o animal exatamente como ele lhes tinha dito.

33 Quando estavam desamarrando o jumentinho, os seus donos lhes perguntaram: "Por que vocês estão desamarrando o jumentinho? "

34 Eles responderam: "O Senhor precisa dele".

35 Levaram-no a Jesus, lançaram seus mantos sobre o jumentinho e fizeram que Jesus montasse nele.

36 Enquanto ele prosseguia, o povo estendia os seus mantos pelo caminho.

37 Quando ele já estava perto da descida do monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos começou a louvar a Deus alegremente, em alta voz, por todos os milagres que tinham visto. Exclamavam:

38 "Bendito é o rei que vem em nome do Senhor! " "Paz no céu e glória nas alturas! "

39 Alguns dos fariseus que estavam no meio da multidão disseram a Jesus: "Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos! "

40 "Eu lhes digo", respondeu ele, "se eles se calarem, as pedras clamarão".

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.
