28 And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called {the mount} of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 saying, Go into the village over against {you}, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no {child} of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it {here}.

31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose {it}? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

32 And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.

35 And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on {it}.

36 And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.

37 And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,

38 saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of {the} Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

28 Tendo Jesus assim falado, ia caminhando adiante deles, subindo para Jerusalém.

29 Ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto do monte que se chama das Oliveiras, enviou dois dos discípulos,

30 dizendo-lhes: Ide à aldeia que está defronte, e aí, ao entrar, achareis preso um jumentinho em que ninguém jamais montou; desprendei-o e trazei-o.

31 Se alguém vos perguntar: Por que o desprendeis? respondereis assim: O Senhor precisa dele.

32 Partiram, pois, os que tinham sido enviados, e acharam conforme lhes dissera.

33 Enquanto desprendiam o jumentinho, os seus donos lhes perguntaram: Por que desprendeis o jumentinho?

34 Responderam eles: O Senhor precisa dele.

35 Trouxeram-no, pois, a Jesus e, lançando os seus mantos sobre o jumentinho, fizeram que Jesus montasse.

36 E, enquanto ele ia passando, outros estendiam no caminho os seus mantos.

37 Quando já ia chegando à descida do Monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos, regozijando-se, começou a louvar a Deus em alta voz, por todos os milagres que tinha visto,

38 dizendo: Bendito o Rei que vem em nome do Senhor; paz no céu, e glória nas alturas.

39 Nisso, disseram-lhe alguns dos fariseus dentre a multidão: Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos.

40 Ao que ele respondeu: Digo-vos que, se estes se calarem, as pedras clamarão.
