35. Then they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and had Jesus get on it.
36. As he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37. As he approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen:
38. “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39. But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40. He answered, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the very stones will cry out!”
41. Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept over it,
42. saying, “If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.
44. They will demolish you – you and your children within your walls – and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
