Context of Luke 19:37

35They brought the donkey to Jesus. They put their coats on its back. Then they helped Jesus to sit on it. 36While he was riding along, the people were putting their coats down on the road in front of him. Jesus got near to the lowest part of the Mount of Olives. The whole crowd of his disciples were very happy. They began to praise God with loud voices. They thanked him for all the great things that they had seen. 38They said: ‘May the Lord God bless the king who comes with his authority! We want everything to be well in heaven. We praise our powerful God above!’ 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, stop your disciples from saying these things.’
