Luke 19:25-42
-
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
-
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
-
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
-
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
-
29 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,
-
30 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.
-
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
-
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
-
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
-
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
-
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
-
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
-
37 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;
-
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
-
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
-
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
-
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
-
42 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.
