Luke - ch 19 v 21 - 40
- For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
- He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
- And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?
- And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
- And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
- But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
- But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.

- Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.
- And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.
- And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.
- And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
- But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
- And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
- And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
- And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,
- Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!
- And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.
- To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
