Luke 19:28-40

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Goes Up To Jerusalem

²⁸ And having said these things, He was proceeding ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

He Enters Jerusalem Riding a Colt, To The Praise of The People. He Weeps Over The City

²⁹ And it came about when He drew-near to Bethphage and Bethany— near the mountain being called ‘of Olives’— that He sent-forth two of the disciples, ³⁰ saying, “Go to the village before you, in which while proceeding you will find a colt having been tied on which none^[a] of mankind ever sat. And having untied it, bring it. ³¹ And if someone asks you, ‘For what reason are you untying it?’, thus you shall say— that^[b] ‘The Lord has need of it’”. ³² And having gone, the ones having been sent-forth found it just as He said to them. ³³ And while they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” ³⁴ And the ones said that “The Lord has need of it”. ³⁵ And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their cloaks upon the colt, they put Jesus on it. ³⁶ And while He was proceeding, they were spreading their cloaks under Him in the road. ³⁷ And while He was drawing-near now^[c], at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God, rejoicing with a loud voice for all the miracles which they saw, ³⁸ saying, “Blessed is the King coming in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest [heavens]!” ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples”. ⁴⁰ And having responded, He said, “I say to you, if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
