28 UJesu esezitshilo zonke lezizinto wahamba wabandulela eqonda eJerusalema. 29 Wathi esebanga eBhethifage kanye leBhethani entabeni eyayithiwa yiNtaba yama-Oliva wathuma abafundi bakhe ababili wathi kubo: 30 "Yanini emzini ophambi kwenu, lizakuthi lingena kuwo libone inkonyane kababhemi ibotshelwe khonapho, engakaze igadwe muntu. ‘Ikhululeni liyilethe lapha. 31 Nxa kungaba lozalibuza ukuthi, Liyikhululelani na?’ kumele lithi, ‘INkosi iyayifuna.’ "

32 Labo ababethunyiwe bahamba njalo bathola kunjengoba ebetshilo. 33 Besayikhulula inkonyane kababhemi, abanini bayo bababuza bathi, "Liyikhululelani na?"

34 Baphendula bathi, "INkosi iyayifuna."

35 Bayiletha kuJesu, baphosela amajazi abo phezu kwenkonyane, bagadisa uJesu phezu kwayo. 36 Wathi eseqhubeka, abantu bendlala amajazi abo endleleni.

38 "Ibusisiwe inkosi ebuya ngebizo likaThixo!"*19.38 AmaHubo 118.26

"Ukuthula ezulwini lodumo kweliphezulu!"

39 Abanye abaFarisi exukwini bathi kuJesu, "Mfundisi, khuza abafundi bakho!"

40 Waphendula wathi, "Ngiyalitshela ngithi nxa bethula amatshe azamemeza."
