19 28 WITH THAT JESUS WENT FORWARD and began the ascent to Jerusalem. 19 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples with these instructions: 19 30 'Go to the village opposite; as you enter it you will find tethered there a colt which no one has yet ridden. 19 31 Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks why you are untying it, say, "Our Master needs it."' 19 32 The two went on their errand and found it as he had told them; 19 33 and while they were untying the colt, its owners asked, 'Why are you untying that colt?' 19 34 They answered, 'Our Master needs it.' 19 35 So they brought the colt to Jesus.
Then they threw their cloaks on the colt, for Jesus to mount, 19 36 and they carpeted the road with them as he went on his way. 19 37 And now, as he approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole company of his disciples in their joy began to sing aloud the praises of God for all the things they had seen: 19 38 [ Ps.118.26. ] 'Blessings on him who comes as king in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, glory in highest heaven!'
