GOSPEL OF THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY Luke 19:28-40

After telling a parable to the crowd at Jericho, Jesus went on ahead, going up toJerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place calledthe Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the villageahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never beenridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were sent departed and found it ashe had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why areyou untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it toJesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rodealong, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approachingthe path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciplesbegan to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that theyhad seen, saying,

FIRST READING Please be seated. Isaiah 50:4-9a

The Lord GOD has given methe tongue of a teacher,

that I may know how to sustainthe weary with a word.

Morning by morning he wakens―wakens my earto listen as those who are taught.

The Lord GOD has opened my ear,and I was not rebellious,

I did not turn backward.I gave my back to those who struck me,and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;

I did not hide my facefrom insult and spitting.

The Lord GOD helps me;therefore I have not been disgraced;

therefore I have set my face like flint,and I know that I shall not be put to shame;he who vindicates me is near.

Who will contend with me?Let us stand up together.

Who are my adversaries?Let them confront me.

It is the Lord GOD who helps me;who will declare me guilty?

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 31:9-16 Read in unison. In te, Domine, speravi

9 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; *my eye is consumed with sorrow,and also my throat and my belly.

10 For my life is wasted with grief,and my years with sighing; *my strength fails me because of affliction,and my bones are consumed.

11 I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to myneighbors,

a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *when they see me in the street they avoid me.

12 I am forgotten like one who is dead, out of mind; *I am as useless as a broken pot.

13 For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around; *they put their heads together against me;they plot to take my life.

14 But as for me, I have trusted in you, O LORD. *I have said, “You are my God.

15 My times are in your hand; *rescue me from the hand of my enemies,and from those who persecute me.

16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, *and in your loving-kindness save me.”

18

SECOND READING Philippians 2:5-11

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God,

did not regard equality with Godas something to be exploited,

but emptied himself,taking the form of a slave,being born in human likeness.

And being found in human form,he humbled himselfand became obedient to the point of death―even death on a cross.

Therefore God also highly exalted himand gave him the namethat is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesusevery knee should bend,in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue should confessthat Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 19:41-48

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christaccording to Luke. †

B Glory to you, Lord Christ.


B Glory be to thee, O Lord.

As Jesus came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, ‘If you, even you, hadonly recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they arehidden from your eyes. Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemieswill set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on everyside. They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, andthey will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did notrecognize the time of your visitation from God.’

Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling thingsthere; and he said, ‘It is written,

“My house shall be a house of prayer”;but you have made it a den of robbers.’

Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and theleaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him; but they did not findanything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
