Luke 19:29-48

29

AsG1096G5613 He approachedG1448G1519 BethphageG967 andG2532 BethanyG963 atG4314 theG3588 MountG3735 ofG2564 OlivesG1636, He sent outG649 twoG1417 ofG3588 His disciplesG3101, 30sayingG3004, “GoG5217 intoG1519 theG3588 villageG2968 aheadG2713 of you, and as you enterG1722G3739G1531 it, you will findG2147 a coltG4454 tiedG1210 there, onG1909 whichG3739 no oneG3762G444 has everG4455 satG2523. UntieG3089 itG846 and bringG71 it here. 31IfG1437 anyoneG5100 asksG2065, ‘WhyG1223G5101 are you untyingG3089 it?’ tellG2046 him, ‘TheG3588 LordG2962 needsG2192G5532 itG846.’”

32SoG1161 thoseG3588 who were sentG649 went outG565 and foundG2147 it just asG2531 Jesus had toldG2036 themG846. 33AsG1161 theyG846 were untyingG3089 theG3588 coltG4454, itsG846 ownersG2962 askedG2036, “WhyG5101 are you untyingG3089 theG3588 coltG4454?”

34

“TheG3588 LordG2962 needsG2192G5532 itG846,” they answeredG2036. 35ThenG2532 they ledG71 the colt toG4314 JesusG2424, threwG1977 theirG846 cloaksG2440 overG1909 it, and put Jesus onG1913G3588G2424 it.

36

As HeG846 rode alongG4198, the people spreadG5291 theirG1438 cloaksG2440 onG1722 theG3588 roadG3598. 37AndG1161 as HeG846 approachedG1448G2235 theG3588 descentG2600 from theG3588 MountG3735 of OlivesG1636, theG3588 wholeG537 multitudeG4128 ofG3588 disciplesG3101 beganG756 to praiseG134 GodG2316 joyfullyG5463 in a loud voiceG3173G5456 forG4012 allG3956 the miraclesG1411 they had seenG3708:

39ButG2532 someG5100 of theG3588 PhariseesG5330 inG575 theG3588 crowdG3793 saidG2036 toG4314 HimG846, “TeacherG1320, rebukeG2008 YourG4771 disciplesG3101!”

40“I tellG3004 youG4771,” He answeredG611G2036, “ifG1437 theyG3778 remain silentG4623, the veryG3588 stonesG3037 will cry outG2896.”

41

AsG5613 Jesus approachedG1448 Jerusalem and sawG3708 theG3588 cityG4172, He weptG2799 overG1909 itG846 42and saidG3004, “If onlyG1487 you had knownG1097 onG1722 thisG3778 dayG2250 whatG3588 would bring youG4771 peaceG1515! ButG1161 nowG3568 it is hiddenG2928 fromG575 yourG4771 eyesG3788. 43ForG3754 the daysG2250 will comeG2240 uponG1909 youG4771 when yourG4771 enemiesG2190 will barricadeG3925G5482 youG4771 andG2532 surroundG4033 youG4771 andG2532 hem you inG4912G4771 on every sideG3840. 44They will level you to the groundG1474—youG4771 andG2532 the childrenG5043 withinG1722 yourG4771 walls. They will not leaveG3756G863 one stoneG3037 onG1909 another, becauseG473G3739 you did not recognizeG3756G1097 theG3588 timeG2540 of yourG4771 visitationG1984 from God.3”

45ThenG2532 Jesus enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts4 and beganG756 to drive outG1544 those whoG3588 were sellingG4453 there. 46He declaredG3004 to themG846, “It is writtenG1125: ‘MyG1473 houseG3624 will beG1510 a houseG3624 of prayerG4335.’5 ButG1161 youG4771 have madeG4160 itG846 ‘a denG4693 of robbersG3027.’6”

47

Jesus wasG1510 teachingG1321 atG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 everyG2596 dayG3588G2250, butG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749, scribesG1122, andG2532 leadersG4413 of theG3588 peopleG2992 were intentG2212 on killingG622 HimG846. 48YetG2532 they could not findG3756G2147 a wayG5101 to doG4160 so, becauseG1063 allG537 theG3588 peopleG2992 hungG1582 on His wordsG846G191.
