35Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it. 36As he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. As he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen: 38“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
