Luke 19:28–44

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, ⁿhe went before, ^oascending up to Jerusalem. ²⁹And it came to pass, ^pwhen he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, ³⁰saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. ³¹And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. ³²And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. ³³And as they were loosing the colt, ^qthe owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? ³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of him. ³⁵And they brought him to Jesus: ^rand they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. ³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. ³⁷And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and ^spraise God with a loud voice for all the ^tmighty works that they had seen; ³⁸saying, Blessed be ^uthe King that cometh in the name of the Lord: ^wpeace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ^39xAnd some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, ^ythe stones would immediately cry out.

⁴¹And when ^zhe was come near, he beheld the city, and ^awept over it, ⁴²saying, ^bIf thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. ⁴³For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall ^ccast a trench about thee, and ^dcompass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, ⁴⁴and ^eshall lay thee even with the ground, and ^fthy children within thee: and ^gthey shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not ^hthe time of thy ⁱvisitation.
