Gospel of Luke 19 - Entrance to Holy Jerusalem

Gospel according to St. Luke

Chapter 19

selected verses (28 - 38)

Entry to Jerusalem (ahead of Holy Week)

. . .He went on ahead,

going up to Jerusalem.

When he had come near

Bethphage & Bethany, at

the place called Mount

of Olives, Jesus sent 2

of the disciples, saying,

"Go into the village. . .

find a colt that has never

been ridden.  Untie it and

bring it here". . .(v.35)

They brought it to Jesus,

and after throwing their

cloaks on the colt, they

set Jesus on it.  As he

rode along, people kept

spreading their cloaks on

the road.  Now as he was

approaching the path down

from the Mount of Olives,

the whole multitude of the

disciples began to praise

God joyfully with a loud

voice for all the deeds of power

that they had seen!  "Blessed

is the king who comes in

the name of the LORD!  Peace

in heaven and glory in the 

highest heaven!"
