Context of Luke 19:28
26“ ‘I can guarantee that everyone who has something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don’t have much. 27Bring my enemies, who didn’t want me to be their king. Kill them in front of me.’ ” After Jesus had given this illustration, he continued on his way to Jerusalem. 29When he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives (as it was called), Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead of him. 30He said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter, you will find a young donkey tied there. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it, and bring it.
