* 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 .
