Luke 19:28-48

Luke:19.28 When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. Luke:19.29 And it came to pass, when He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, [that] He sent two of His disciples, Luke:19.30 saying, "Go into the village opposite [you,] where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring [it here.] Luke:19.31 "And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing [it?'] thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.' " Luke:19.32 So those who were sent went their way and found [it] just as He had said to them. Luke:19.33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?" Luke:19.34 And they said, "The Lord has need of him." Luke:19.35 Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. Luke:19.36 And as He went, [many] spread their clothes on the road. Luke:19.37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, Luke:19.38 saying: " 'Blessed [is] the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Luke:19.39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." Luke:19.40 But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out." Luke:19.41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, Luke:19.42 saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things [that make] for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. Luke:19.43 "For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, Luke:19.44 "and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." Luke:19.45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, Luke:19.46 saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' " Luke:19.47 And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, Luke:19.48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.
