24. Then he said to some other servants standing there, “Take the money away from him and give it to the servant who earned ten times as much.”
25. But they said, “Sir, he already has ten times as much!”
26. The king replied, “Those who have something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don't have anything.
27. Now bring me the enemies who didn't want me to be their king. Kill them while I watch!”
28. When Jesus had finished saying all this, he went on towards Jerusalem.
29. As he was getting near Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples on ahead.
30. He told them, “Go into the next village, where you will find a young donkey that has never been ridden. Untie the donkey and bring it here.
31. If anyone asks why you are doing that, just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”
32. They went off and found everything just as Jesus had said.
33. While they were untying the donkey, its owners asked, “Why are you doing that?”
34. They answered, “The Lord needs it.”
35. Then they led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back and helped Jesus get on.
36. And as he rode along, the people spread clothes on the road in front of him.
37. When Jesus was setting off down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and praised God because of all the miracles they had seen.
