Luke 19:30

28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
