28 And having said these things, He went on before, going up to Jerusalem. 29 And it came to pass, as He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to that called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, 30 having said, "Go away into the village in front of [you], in which, entering in, you will find a colt bound, on which no one of men ever sat, having loosed it, bring [it]; 31 and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it." 32 And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them, 33 and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said to them, "Why do you loose the colt?" 34 And they said, "The LORD has need of it"; 35 and they brought it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they sat Jesus on it. 36 And as He is going, they were spreading their garments in the way, 37 and as He is coming near now, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38 saying, "Blessed [is] the King coming in the Name of the LORD; peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest!" 39 And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples"; 40 and He answering said to them, "I say to you that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!"
