25. And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26. For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
27. Moreover those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.
28. And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29. And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30. saying, Go into the village over against you, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no child of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it here.
31. And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32. And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33. And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
