The Triumphal Entry

²⁸And after He had said these things, He ^awas going on ahead, ^bgoing up to Jerusalem.

²⁹^aAnd it happened that when He approached Bethphage and ^bBethany, near the mount called “of ^cOlives,” He sent two of the disciples, ³⁰saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. ³¹“And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’” ³²So when those who were sent departed, they found it just as He had told them. ³³And as they were untying the colt, its ¹owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵And they brought it to Jesus, ^aand after they threw their garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it. ³⁶And as He was going, they were spreading their garments on the road. ³⁷Now as soon as He was approaching, near the descent of ^athe Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to ^bpraise God, rejoicing with a loud voice for all the ¹miracles which they had seen, ³⁸saying, “^aBlessed is the ^bKing who comes in the name of the ¹Lord.Peace in heaven and ^cglory in the highest!”

³⁹^aAnd some of the Pharisees ¹in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” ⁴⁰But Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^athe stones will cry out!”
