Luke 19:29-41

English Standard Version

²⁹^(A)When he drew near to Bethphage and ^(B)Bethany, at ^(C)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent ^(D)two of the disciples, ³⁰saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, ^(E)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. ³¹If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” ³²So those who were sent went away and found it ^(F)just as he had told them. ³³And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. ³⁶And as he rode along, they ^(G)spread their cloaks on the road. ³⁷As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—^(H)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ^(I)for all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸saying, ^(J)“Blessed is ^(K)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ^(L)glory in the highest!” ³⁹^(M)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^(N)the very stones would cry out.”
