\\ *Text:* \\ *Luke** 19:28 through Luke 19:44 (NASB)*

28After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, 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 owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34They said, “The Lord has need of it.”

35They brought it to Jesus, and 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 the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, 38shouting:

     “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord;

     Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

40But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

41When He approached /Jerusalem/, He saw the city and wept over it, 42saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace!

But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

43“For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, 44and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
