* And having said these things , he went on before , going up to Jerusalem . * And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount ] of Olives , he sent two of his disciples , * saying , Go into the village over against [you ], in which ye will find , on entering it , a colt tied up , on which no [child ] of man ever sat at any time : loose it and lead it [here ]. * And if any one ask you , Why do ye loose [it ]? thus shall ye say to him , Because the Lord has need of it . * And they that were sent , having gone their way , found as he had said to them . * And as they were loosing the colt , its masters said to them , Why loose ye the colt ? * And they said , Because the Lord has need of it . * And they led it to Jesus ; and having cast their own garments on the colt , they put Jesus on [it ]. * And as he went , they strewed their clothes in the way . * And as he drew near , already at the descent of the mount of Olives , all the multitude of the disciples began , rejoicing , to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen , * saying , Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the ] Lord : peace in heaven , and glory in the highest . * And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him , Teacher , rebuke thy disciples . * And he answering said to them , I say unto you , If these shall be silent , the stones will cry out . * And as he drew near , seeing the city , he wept over it , * saying , If thou hadst known , even thou , even at least in this thy day , the things that are for thy peace : but now they are hid from thine eyes ; * for days shall come upon thee , that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee , and shall close thee around , and keep thee in on every side , * and shall lay thee even with the ground , and thy children in thee ; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone : because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation .
