Luke 19:31
World English Bible (WEB)
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
In context
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
