Reading:
"Luke 19:29-40 (Amplified)
When Jesus came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of
Olives, He sent two of His disciples, telling them, "Go into the village
yonder; there, as you go in, you will find a donkey's colt tied, on which no
person has ever yet sat. Loose it and bring it here. If anybody asks you, 'Why
are you untying it?', you shall say this: 'Because the Lord has need of it.'"
So those who were sent went away found it just as
He had told them. And as they were loosening the colt, its owners said to them,
"Why are you untying the colt?" And they said, "The Lord has need of it."
And they brought it to Jesus; then they threw
their garments over the colt and set Jesus upon it.
And as He rode along, the people kept spreading their garments
on the road. As He was approaching the city, at the descent of the Mount of
Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God
extolling Him exultantly and loudly for all the mighty miracles and works of
power that they had witnessed, crying, "Blessed (celebrated with praises) is
the King Who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven and glory, majesty and splendor in the highest
heaven!
And some
of the Pharisees from the throng said to Jesus, "Teacher, reprove Your
disciples!"
He
replied, "I tell you that if these keep silent, the very stones will cry out."
