019:033 As they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them,
"Why are you untying the colt?"
019:034 They said, "The Lord needs it."
019:035 They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt,
and set Jesus on them.
019:036 As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
019:037 As he was now getting near, 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
which they had seen,
019:038 saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!{Psalm
118:26} Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"
019:039 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher,
rebuke your disciples!"
019:040 He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent,
the stones would cry out."
019:041 When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
019:042 saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong
to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
019:043 For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up
a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
019:044 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground.
They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you
didn't know the time of your visitation."
019:045 He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who
bought and sold in it,
019:046 saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house
of prayer,'{Isaiah 56:7} but you have made it a 'den
of robbers'!"{Jeremiah 7:11}
019:047 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests
and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought
to destroy him.
019:048 They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung
on to every word that he said.
020:001 It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people
in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the {TR adds
"chief"}priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
020:002 They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things?
Or who is giving you this authority?"
020:003 He answered them, "I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
020:004 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?"
020:005 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,'
he will say, 'Why didn't you believe him?'
020:006 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us,
for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
020:007 They answered that they didn't know where it was from.
