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 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, 30 saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’"

32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 They said, "The Lord needs it." 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them. 36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.

37 As he was now getting near, 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 who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"

39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

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