Lucas 19

28 After he’d finished telling them this story, Jesus left for Jerusalem, walking on ahead. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples, telling them:

30 "Go to the village farther on. As you enter it you’ll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’"

32 So the two disciples went and found that everything was just as Jesus had said. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?" 34 The disciples replied, "The Lord needs it." 35 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over it, and sat Jesus on its back. 36 As he rode along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

37 As he approached Jerusalem,*19:37. "Jerusalem," implied. right where the road goes down from the Mount of Olives, the crowd of disciples all began shouting joyful praises to God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen.

38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,"*19:38. See Psalms 118:26. they shouted. "Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven."*19:38. See Psalms 148:1. 39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, stop your disciples from saying that." 40 But Jesus replied, "I tell you that if they keep quiet then the stones will shout!"
