And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off two of his disciples,

saying - Go your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat, - and, having loosed him, bring him.

And, if any one question you - Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say - His Lord, hath, need.

And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.

And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them - Why are ye loosing the colt?

And, they, said - His Lord, hath, need.

And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.

And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.

And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;

saying - Blessed is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!

And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him - Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.

And he answered and said - I tell you - If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
