(Luk 19:30) saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.
(Luk 19:31) If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.'”
(Luk 19:32) So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.
(Luk 19:33) And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

(Luk 19:36) And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
(Luk 19:37) As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
(Luk 19:38) saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
(Luk 19:39) And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
(Luk 19:40) He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
