*
When he had said this ,
he went on ahead ,
going up to Jerusalem .
*
When he came near to Bethphage and Bethany ,
at the mount that is called Olivet ,
he sent two of the disciples ,
*
saying , »
Go into the village opposite you ,
where as you enter you will find a colt tied ,
on which no one has ever sat .
Untie it and bring it here .
*
If any one asks you ,
Why are you untying it ?
you shall say to him ,
The Lord has need of it .«
*
So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them .
*
And as they were untying the colt ,
its owners said to them , »
Why are you untying the colt ?«
*
And they said , »
The Lord has need of it .«
*
And they brought it to Jesus ,
and they threw their garments on the colt and set Jesus on it .
*
And as he went along ,
many spread their garments on the road .
*
And ,
as he was now drawing near 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 they had seen ,
*
saying ,
*
And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him , »
Teacher ,
rebuke your disciples .«
*
He answered , »
I tell you ,
if these keep silent ,
the stones would cry out .«
*
And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it ,
*
saying , »
If you had known ,
even you ,
this day ,
the things that make for peace !
But now they are hidden from your eyes .
*
For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you ,
and surround you and hem you in on every side ,
*
and dash you to the ground ,
you and your children within you ,
and they will not leave one stone upon another in you ;
because you did not know the time of your visitation .«
