28 Depois de contar essa história, Jesus prosseguiu rumo a Jerusalém. 29 Quando chegou a Betfagé e Betânia, próximo ao monte das Oliveiras, enviou dois de seus discípulos. 30 "Vão àquele povoado adiante", disse ele. "Assim que entrarem, verão amarrado ali um jumentinho no qual ninguém jamais montou. Desamarrem-no e tragam-no para cá. 31 Se alguém perguntar: ‘Por que estão soltando o jumentinho?’, respondam apenas: ‘O Senhor precisa dele’."

32 Eles foram e encontraram o jumentinho, exatamente como Jesus tinha dito. 33 E, enquanto o desamarravam, seus donos perguntaram: "Por que estão soltando o jumentinho?".

34 Os discípulos responderam: "O Senhor precisa dele". 35 Então trouxeram o jumentinho e lançaram seus mantos sobre o animal, para que Jesus montasse nele.

36 À medida que Jesus ia passando, as multidões espalhavam seus mantos ao longo do caminho diante dele. 37 Quando ele chegou próximo à descida do monte das Oliveiras, seus seguidores começaram a gritar e a cantar enquanto o acompanhavam, louvando a Deus por todos os milagres maravilhosos que tinham visto.

38 "Bendito é o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor!

Paz no céu e glória nas maiores alturas!".

39 Alguns dos fariseus que estavam entre a multidão disseram: "Mestre, repreenda seus seguidores por dizerem estas coisas!".

40 Ele, porém, respondeu: "Se eles se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão!".

28 And having spoke these things, he went ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying,

30 Go ye into the opposite village, in which, having entered, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Having untied, bring it.

31 And if any man asks you, Why do ye untie it? Thus ye will say to him, The Lord has need of it.

32 And having departed, those who were sent found just as he said to them.

33 And as they were untying the colt, the masters of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?

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

35 And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their garments upon the colt, they mounted Jesus.

36 And as he went, they spread their garments on the road.

37 And as he was now coming near, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God in a great voice about all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,

38 Blessed is the King who comes in the name of Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!

39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And having answered, he said to them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.
