...They spread their cloaks on the roadway as he moved along; and on his approach to the descent from Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for the display of power they had seen saying:
Blessed is he who comes as king
in the name of the Lord!
Praise in heaven
and glory in the highest!
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He replied, "If they were to keep silence, I tell you the very stones would cry out."
(Luke 19:37-40)
