- And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
- And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
- Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
- And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
- And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
|
- And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
- And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
- And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
- And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
- And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
|
- Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
- And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
- And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
- And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
- Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
|
- For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
- And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
- And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
- Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
- And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
|
- And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
