Luke 19:28-44

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."

New International Version NIV

28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them,

30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.

36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

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

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.

43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.

44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
