A Day, A Deliverer, and the World's Happiest Donkey
Luke 19:28-44

Luke 19 (NKJV™) | |
28 | When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. |
29 | And it came to pass, when He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, |
30 | saying, "Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. |
31 | "And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.'" |
32 | So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them. |
33 | But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?" |
34 | And they said, "The Lord has need of him." |
35 | Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. |
36 | And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road. |
37 | Then, as He was now drawing near 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 they had seen, |
38 | saying: "'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" |
39 | And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." |
40 | But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out." |
41 | Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, |
42 | saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. |
43 | "For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, |
44 | "and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation." |
