29And it came to passe when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethanie, at the mount called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples, 30Saying, Goe ye into the village ouer against you, in the which at your entring ye shall find a Colt tied, whereon yet neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither. 31And if any man aske you, Why do ye loose him? Thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him. 32And they that were sent, went their way, and found euen as hee had said vnto them. 33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said vnto them, Why loose ye the Colt?
