28 En toe Hy dit gesê het, gaan Hy vooruit op weg na Jerusalem.

29 En toe Hy naby B,tfag, en Bet nië kom, by die berg wat die Olyfberg genoem word, het Hy twee van sy dissipels uitgestuur

30 en gesê: Gaan in die dorp reg voor julle; en as julle daar inkom, sal julle 'n eselsvul vind wat vasgemaak is, waar geen mens ooit op gesit het nie. Maak hom los en bring hom.

31 En as iemand julle vra: Waarom maak julle hom los? -- moet julle so vir hom sê: Die Here het hom nodig.

32 En die wat gestuur was, gaan toe en vind dit soos Hy aan hulle gesê het.

33 En terwyl hulle die vul losmaak, sê die eienaars aan hulle: Waarom maak julle die vul los?

34 En hulle antwoord: Die Here het hom nodig.

35 Toe bring hulle hom na Jesus toe, en hulle lê hul klere op die vul en laat Jesus daarop sit.

36 En terwyl Hy voortgaan, gooi hulle hul klere oop op die pad.

37 En toe Hy al naby die afdraand van die Olyfberg kom, begin die hele menigte dissipels God met blydskap te prys met 'n groot stem oor al die kragtige dade wat hulle gesien het,

38 terwyl hulle sê: Geseënd is die Koning wat kom in die Naam van die Here, vrede in die hemel en heerlikheid in die hoogste hemele!

39 En sommige van die Fariseërs uit die skare sê vir Hom: Meester, bestraf u dissipels!

40 En Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: Ek sê vir julle, as hulle swyg, sal die klippe uitroep.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, Go your way into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him. 31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen; 38 saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
