28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, 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 cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now 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 that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be 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 among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

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.
