Luke 19:28-44
The Triumphal Entry
28 When(A) He had said these things, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(B)
29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives,(C) He sent two of the disciples
30 and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 So those who were sent left and found it just as He had told them.(D)
33 As they were untying the young donkey, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
34 “The Lord needs it,” they said.
35 Then(E) they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their robes on the donkey, they helped Jesus get on it.(F)
36 As He was going along, they were spreading their robes on the road.(G)
37 Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
Jesus’ Love for Jerusalem
41 As He approached and saw the city, He wept(M) over it,
42 saying, “If you knew(N) this day what would bring peace—but now it is hidden(O) from your eyes.
43 For the days will come on you(P) when your enemies will build an embankment against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.(Q)
44 They will crush you and your children within you to the ground,(R) and they will not leave one stone on another(S) in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”(T)
