"If anyone asks you,‘Why are you untying it?’ just say,‘The Lord needs it.’”"
— Luke 19:31, NET Bible
“And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.”
“And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. ”
“If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"”
“And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.”
“And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.”
“And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.”
The Triumphal Entry After Jesus had said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Now when he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
telling them,“Go to the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
If anyone asks you,‘Why are you untying it?’ just say,‘The Lord needs it.’”
So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he had told them.
As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them,“Why are you untying that colt?”
They replied,“The Lord needs it.”
