Luke 19:28–38

Triumphal Entry

²⁸After He had said these things, He ^awas going on ahead, ^bgoing up to Jerusalem.

^29aWhen He approached Bethphage and ^bBethany, near the ¹mount that is called ^cOlivet, He sent two of the disciples,

³⁰saying, “Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

³¹“If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”

³²So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

³³As they were untying the colt, its ¹owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

³⁴They said, “The Lord has need of it.”

³⁵They brought it to Jesus, ^aand they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

³⁶As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

³⁷As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of ^athe Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to ^bpraise God ¹joyfully with a loud voice for all the ²miracles which they had seen,

³⁸shouting:

“^aBlessed is the ^bKing who comes in the name of the Lord;

Peace in heaven and ^cglory in the highest!”
