Luke 19:28-44

English Standard Version ESV

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

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

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.

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

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

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

34 And they said, "The Lord has need of it."

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

36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.

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,

38 saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

40 He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,

42 saying, "Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side

44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation."

The Message Bible MSG

28 After saying these things, Jesus headed straight up to Jerusalem.

29 When he got near Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called Olives, he sent off two of the disciples with instructions:

30 "Go to the village across from you. As soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tethered, one that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it.

31 If anyone says anything, asks, 'What are you doing?' say, 'His Master needs him.'"

32 The two left and found it just as he said.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said, "What are you doing untying the colt?"

34 They said, "His Master needs him."

35 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then, throwing their coats on its back, they helped Jesus get on.

36 As he rode, the people gave him a grand welcome, throwing their coats on the street.

37 Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:

38 Blessed is he who comes, the king in God's name! All's well in heaven! Glory in the high places!

39 Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!"

40 But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise."

41 When the city came into view, he wept over it.

42 "If you had only recognized this day, and everything that was good for you! But now it's too late.

43 In the days ahead your enemies are going to bring up their heavy artillery and surround you, pressing in from every side.

44 They'll smash you and your babies on the pavement. Not one stone will be left intact. All this because you didn't recognize and welcome God's personal visit."
