The Triumphal Entry^(A)

11 Now ^(B)when they drew near Jerusalem, to ^[a]Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; ² and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. ³ And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

⁴ So they went their way, and found ^[b]the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. ⁵ But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

⁶ And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. ⁷ Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

^4 [a]All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

^8 (A)And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

³⁷ Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to ^(A)rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

⁹ Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

^16 (A)His disciples did not understand these things at first; ^(B)but when Jesus was glorified, ^(C)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

¹⁷ Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. ^18 (D)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. ¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, ^(E)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

⁴⁰ But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, ^(A)the stones would immediately cry out.”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹ Now as He drew near, He saw the city and ^(B)wept over it, ⁴² saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ^(C)your day, the things that ^(D)make for your ^(E)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ For days will come upon you when your enemies will ^(F)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, ^44 (G)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and ^(H)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, ^(I)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

^10 (A)And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”

¹¹ So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, ^(B)the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

¹⁴ Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. ¹⁵ But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the ^(A)Son of David!” they were ^[a]indignant ¹⁶ and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”

And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,
