28 Tämän sanottuaan Jeesus lähti toisten edellä nousemaan Jerusalemiin vievää tietä.
29 Kun hän oli tulossa Öljymäeksi kutsutulle vuorelle ja oli jo lähellä Betfagea ja Betaniaa, hän lähetti edeltä kaksi opetuslastaan
32 Miehet lähtivät ja havaitsivat kaiken olevan niin kuin Jeesus oli heille sanonut.
35 He toivat varsan Jeesukselle, heittivät vaatteitaan sen selkään ja auttoivat Jeesuksen ratsaille.
36 Kun hän sitten ratsasti, opetuslapset levittivät vaatteitaan tielle.
37 Jeesuksen lähestyessä sitä paikkaa, mistä tie laskeutuu Öljymäen rinnettä alas, koko opetuslasten joukko alkoi riemuissaan suureen ääneen ylistää Jumalaa kaikista niistä voimateoista, jotka he olivat nähneet.
38 He huusivat: -- Siunattu hän, kuningas, joka tulee Herran nimessä! Taivaassa rauha, kunnia korkeuksissa!
28 And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called {the mount} of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, Go into the village over against {you}, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no {child} of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it {here}.
31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose {it}? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32 And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on {it}.
36 And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,
38 saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of {the} Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
