Luke 19:18-40

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.

¹⁹And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.

²⁰So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:

²¹For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.

²²Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.

²³Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?

²⁴And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.

²⁵(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)

²⁶For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.

²⁷Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.

²⁹And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.

³¹And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.

³²So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.

³³And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?

³⁴And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.

³⁵So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.

³⁶And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.

³⁷And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,

³⁸Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.

³⁹Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

⁴⁰But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
