Luke 19:28-40

²⁸After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, ³⁰saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. ³¹If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’” ³²So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them. ³³As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴They said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it. ³⁶As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road. ³⁷As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, ³⁸shouting:

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord;
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

³⁹Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” ⁴⁰But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”
