Bible verse
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Luke 19:31 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 19.
27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
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,
30 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.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.
35 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
