28 When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

30 saying, Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

31 And if anyone asks you, Why are you loosing it? you shall say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

32 So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why are you loosing the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.

35 Then they led it to Jesus. And they threw their clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on it.

36 And as He went, they spread their clothes on the road.

37 And as He was now drawing near 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 they had seen,

38 saying: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the highest!

39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.

40 But He answered and said to them, I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.

28 Depois de dizer isso, Jesus foi adiante, subindo para Jerusalém.

29 Ao aproximar-se de Betfagé e de Betânia, no monte chamado das Oliveiras, enviou dois dos seus discípulos, dizendo-lhes:

30 "Vão ao povoado que está adiante e, ao entrarem, encontrarão um jumentinho amarrado, no qual ninguém jamais montou. Desamarrem-no e tragam-no aqui.

31 Se alguém lhes perguntar: ‘Por que o estão desamarrando? ’ digam-lhe: ‘O Senhor precisa dele’ ".

32 Os que tinham sido enviados foram e encontraram o animal exatamente como ele lhes tinha dito.

33 Quando estavam desamarrando o jumentinho, os seus donos lhes perguntaram: "Por que vocês estão desamarrando o jumentinho? "

34 Eles responderam: "O Senhor precisa dele".

35 Levaram-no a Jesus, lançaram seus mantos sobre o jumentinho e fizeram que Jesus montasse nele.

36 Enquanto ele prosseguia, o povo estendia os seus mantos pelo caminho.

37 Quando ele já estava perto da descida do monte das Oliveiras, toda a multidão dos discípulos começou a louvar a Deus alegremente, em alta voz, por todos os milagres que tinham visto. Exclamavam:

38 "Bendito é o rei que vem em nome do Senhor! " "Paz no céu e glória nas alturas! "

39 Alguns dos fariseus que estavam no meio da multidão disseram a Jesus: "Mestre, repreende os teus discípulos! "

40 "Eu lhes digo", respondeu ele, "se eles se calarem, as pedras clamarão".
