Luke 19:28-44

Wycliffe Bible

²⁸ And when these things were said, he went before, and went up to Jerusalem. [And these things said, he went before, ascending to Jerusalem.]

²⁹ And it was done, when Jesus came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany [when he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany], at the mount, that is called of Olives, he sent his two disciples,

³⁰ and said [saying], Go ye into the castle, that is against you; into which as ye enter [into which ye entering], ye shall find a colt of an ass tied, on which never man sat; untie ye him, and bring ye to me.

³¹ And if any man ask you, why ye untie, thus ye shall say to him, For the Lord desireth his work.

³² And they that were sent, went forth, and found as he said to them, a colt standing.

³³ And when they untied the colt, the lords of it said to them, What untie ye the colt? [Soothly them untying the colt, the lords of him said, Why untie ye the colt?]

³⁴ And they said, For the Lord hath need to him.

³⁵ And they led him to Jesus; and they casted their clothes on the colt, and set Jesus on him^[a].

³⁶ And when he went, they spreaded their clothes in the way.

³⁷ And when [now] he came nigh to the coming down of the mount of Olives, all the people [all the companies of men] that came down began to joy, and to praise God with great voice on all the works of power [on all the virtues], that they had seen,

³⁸ and said [saying], Blessed be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in high things.

³⁹ And some of the Pharisees of the people said to him [And some of the Pharisees of the companies said to him], Master, blame thy disciples.

⁴⁰ And he said to them, I say to you, for if these [shall] be still, stones shall cry.

⁴¹ And when he approached, he saw the city, and wept on it, [And when he nighed, he seeing the city, wept upon it,]

⁴² and said, For if thou haddest known, thou shouldest weep also; for in this day the things be in peace to thee, but now they be hid from thine eyes. [saying, For if thou haddest known, and thou, and soothly in this thy day, the which is to peace to thee; but now they be hid from thine eyes.]

⁴³ But days shall come in thee, and thine enemies shall environ thee with a pale, and they shall go about thee, and make thee strait on all sides.^[b]

⁴⁴ and [they shall] cast thee down to the earth, and thy sons that be in thee [and thy children that be in thee]; and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, for thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
