28 And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, as he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 having said, Go away to the village oppositeyou, in which, entering into, you shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring it;

31 and if any one does question you, Therefore do you looseit? thus you shall say to him -- The Lord has need of it.'

32 And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,

33 and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose you the colt?'

34 and they said, 'The Lord has need of it;'

35 and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

36 And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

37 and as he is coming near now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

38 saying, 'blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

39 And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples;'

40 and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
