The Triumphal Entry (LUK 19:28-40)

[19:28] And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

[19:29] When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

[19:30] saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.

[19:31] If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’”

[19:32] So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.

[19:33] And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

[19:34] And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”

[19:35] And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.

[19:36] And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.

[19:37] As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,

[19:38] saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

[19:39] And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”

[19:40] He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
