After saying these things, Yeshua was going on ahead, up to Jerusalem.
When He got near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of the disciples,
saying, “Go into the village ahead. As you enter, you will find a colt tied up, that no one has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Master needs it.’”
Those who were headed out found things just as He told them.
Then as they were untying the colt, his owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
They said, “The Master needs it.”
Then they brought it to Yeshua, threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Yeshua on it.
And as He went along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road.
When Yeshua came near the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice. They praised God with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,
saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of ADONAI! Shalom in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
But answering, Yeshua said, “I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will shout out!”
As He drew near and saw Jerusalem, He wept over her,
saying, “If only you had recognized this day the things that lead to shalom! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
For the days will come upon you when your enemies will surround you with barricades and hem you in on all sides.
And they will smash you to the ground—you and your children within you. And they won’t leave within you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
Then Yeshua entered the Temple and began to drive out the merchants,
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’”
And He was teaching every day in the Temple. The ruling kohanim and the Torah scholars, even the leaders of the people, were trying to destroy Him;
but they could not find any way to do it, because all the people were hanging on His words.
