Luke 19:30-40

30 saying, "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.

31 "If anyone asks you, 'Why * are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.' "

32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

34 They said, "The Lord has need of it."

35 They brought it to Jesus, ¹and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

36 As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

37 As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of ²the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to ³praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

38 shouting: "⁴BLESSED IS THE ⁵KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and ⁶glory in the highest!"

39 ⁷Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

40 But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, ⁸the stones will cry out!"
