Luke 19:23-40

English Standard Version

²³ Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ ²⁴ And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ ²⁵ And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ ²⁶ ‘I tell you that ^(A)to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. ²⁷ But ^(B)as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and ^(C)slaughter them before me.’”

The Triumphal Entry

²⁸ And when he had said these things, ^(D)he went on ahead, ^(E)going up to Jerusalem. ^29 (F)When he drew near to Bethphage and ^(G)Bethany, at ^(H)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent ^(I)two of the disciples, ³⁰ saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, ^(J)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. ³¹ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” ³² So those who were sent went away and found it ^(K)just as he had told them. ³³ And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴ And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” ³⁵ And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. ³⁶ And as he rode along, they ^(L)spread their cloaks on the road. ³⁷ As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—^(M)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice ^(N)for all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸ saying, ^(O)“Blessed is ^(P)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and ^(Q)glory in the highest!” ^39 (R)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰ He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, ^(S)the very stones would cry out.”
