25
("They said to him, "`Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
26
"`I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has shall be taken away.
27
But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
28

And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
30

31
And if any one asks you, `Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, `The Master needs it.'"
32
So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
33
And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34
and they replied, "The Master needs it."
