Part 32

42:019:029 And 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,

42:019:030 Saying, 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.

42:019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

42:019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

42:019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

42:019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

42:019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

42:019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

42:019:037 And 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;

42:019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

42:019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

42:019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

42:019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42:019:042 Saying, 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.

42:019:043 For 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,

42:019:044 And 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.

42:019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

42:019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

42:019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

42:019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

42:020:001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

42:020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

42:020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

42:020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

42:020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

42:020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

42:020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

42:020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
