62The King comes to Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Sunday: riding a colt down the Mount of Olives amid palms and hosannas, Jesus weeps over the city.
Luke 19:29-44 KJV
29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?34And they said, The Lord hath need of him.35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.36And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.37And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.41And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,42Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.43For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,44And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Also in Matthew 21:1-11
1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,7And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
