Luke 19:29-40

29As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples

30and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.

31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it? ’ say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32So those who were sent left and found it just as he had told them.

33As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34“The Lord needs it,” they said.

35Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their clothes on the colt, they helped Jesus get on it.

36As he was going along, they were spreading their clothes on the road.

37Now he came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

38Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven!

39Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”

40He answered, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.”
