28: And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29: And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30: Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31: And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32: And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33: And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34: And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35: And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36: And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37: And when he was come nigh, even now 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 that they had seen;

38: Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39: And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40: And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
