28 E, dito isto, prosseguia Jesus subindo para Jerusalém. 29 Ora, aconteceu que, ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto ao monte das Oliveiras, enviou dois de seus discípulos, 30 dizendo-lhes: Ide à aldeia fronteira e ali, ao entrardes, achareis preso um jumentinho que jamais homem algum montou; soltai-o e trazei-o. 31 Se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o soltais? Respondereis assim: Porque o Senhor precisa dele. 32 E, indo os que foram mandados, acharam segundo lhes dissera Jesus. 33 Quando eles estavam soltando o jumentinho, seus donos lhes disseram: Por que o soltais? 34 Responderam: Porque o Senhor precisa dele. 35 Então, o trouxeram e, pondo as suas vestes sobre ele, ajudaram Jesus a montar. 36 Indo ele, estendiam no caminho as suas vestes. 37 E, quando se aproximava da descida do monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos passou, jubilosa, a louvar a Deus em alta voz, por todos os milagres que tinham visto, 38 dizendo: Bendito é o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor! Paz no céu e glória nas maiores alturas! 39 Ora, alguns dos fariseus lhe disseram em meio à multidão: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos! 40 Mas ele lhes respondeu: Asseguro-vos que, se eles se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão.

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.

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."
