28 E, depois de dizer isto, Jesus prosseguia a sua viagem para Jerusalém. 29 E aconteceu que, ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto ao monte das Oliveiras, Jesus enviou dois dos seus discípulos, 30 dizendo-lhes:

— Vão até a aldeia que fica ali adiante e, ao entrar, encontrarão preso um jumentinho, o qual ainda ninguém montou; desprendam o jumentinho e tragam aqui. 31 Se alguém perguntar: "Por que o estão desprendendo?", respondam assim: "Porque o Senhor precisa dele."

32 E, indo os que foram mandados, acharam tudo conforme Jesus lhes tinha dito. 33 Quando eles estavam soltando o jumentinho, os donos do animal disseram:

— Por que estão desprendendo o jumentinho?

34 Eles responderam:

— Porque o Senhor precisa dele.

35 Então trouxeram o jumentinho até Jesus e, pondo as suas capas sobre o animal, ajudaram Jesus a montar.

36 À medida que Jesus avançava, as pessoas estendiam as suas capas no caminho. 37 E, quando Jesus se aproximava da descida do monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos começou, com muita alegria, a louvar a Deus em alta voz, por todos os milagres que tinham visto. 38 Diziam:

"Bendito é o Rei que vem

em nome do Senhor!

Paz no céu e glória

nas maiores alturas!"

39 Alguns dos fariseus lhe disseram em meio à multidão:

— Mestre, repreenda os seus discípulos!

40 Mas Jesus respondeu:

— Eu afirmo a vocês que, se eles se calarem, as próprias pedras clamarão.

28 And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off two of his disciples,

30 sayingGo your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat,and, having loosed him, bring him.

31 And, if any one question youWherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye sayHis Lord, hath, need.

32 And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.

33 And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto themWhy are ye loosing the colt?

34 And, they, saidHis Lord, hath, need.

35 And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.

36 And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.

37 And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;

38 sayingBlessed is he that cometh The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!

39 And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto himTeacher! rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and saidI tell youIf, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
