24. And he said to the bystanders, Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.
25. And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas [already]!
26. And [said Jesus,] I tell you that to everyone who gets and has will more be given, but from the man who does not get and does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27. [The indignant king ended by saying] But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them–bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!
28. And after saying these things, Jesus went on ahead of them, going up to Jerusalem.
29. When He came near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called [the Mount of] Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
30. Telling [them], Go into the village yonder; there, as you go in, you will find a donkey's colt tied, on which no man has ever yet sat. Loose it and bring [it here].
31. If anybody asks you, Why are you untying [it]? you shall say this: Because the Lord has need of it.
32. So those who were sent went away and found it [just] as He had told them.
33. And as they were loosening the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?
34. And they said, The Lord has need of it.
35. And they brought it to Jesus; then they threw their garments over the colt and set Jesus upon it. [Zech. 9:9.]
36. And as He rode along, the people kept spreading their garments on the road. [II Kings 9:13.]
