28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, 30 saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’"

32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 They said, "The Lord needs it." 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them. 36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.

37 As he was now getting near, 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 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 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

40 He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

28 耶稣讲完这些话， 就往前走， 上耶路撒冷去。

29 将到伯法其和伯大尼， 就在橄榄山那里， 他差派两个门徒，

30 说： "你们往对面的村子里去， 就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴， 拴在那里， 把它解开牵来。

31 如果有人问为什么解开它， 你们要这样说： ‘主需要它。’"

32 被差的人去了， 发现和主所说的一样。

33 他们解开小驴的时候， 主人问他们： "你们为什么解开它？"

34 他们说： "主需要它。"

35 他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里， 把自己的衣服搭在上面， 扶着耶稣上去。

36 耶稣前行的时候， 众人把自己的衣服铺在路上。

37 他走近耶路撒冷， 快要下橄榄山的时候， 全体门徒因为所看见的一切神迹， 就欢乐起来， 大声赞美 神，

38 说： "奉主名来的王， 是应当称颂的！ 在天上有和平， 在至高之处有荣耀！ "

39 群众中有几个法利赛人对他说： "先生， 责备你的门徒吧！ "

40 耶稣说： "我告诉你们， 他们若不出声， 石头都要呼叫了。"
