29
1When he drew near to Bethphage and
2Bethany, at
3the mount that is called Olivet, he sent
4two of the disciples,
30
saying,
"Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, 5on 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
6just 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
7spread their cloaks on the road.
37
As he was drawing near--already on the way down the Mount of Olives--
8the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice
9for all the mighty works that they had seen,
38
saying,
10"Blessed is
11the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and
12glory in the highest!"
