Luke 19:30-32
New English Translation
30 telling them,[a] “Go to the village ahead of you.[b] When[c] you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden.[d] Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs[e] it.’” 32 So those who were sent ahead found[f] it exactly[g] as he had told them.
