19:28-34 It was now the Sunday before His crucifixion. Jesus had drawn near to the eastern slope of the Mt. of Olives en route to Jerusalem. When He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany ... He sent two of His disciples into a village to get a colt for His entrance into Jerusalem. He told them exactly where they would find the animal and what the owners would say. After the disciples had explained their mission, the owners seemed quite willing to release their colt for use by Jesus. Perhaps they had been blessed previously by the ministry of the Lord and had offered to be of assistance to Him any time He needed it.
19:35-38 The disciples made a cushion or saddle for the Lord with their own clothes. Many spread their clothes on the road before Him as He ascended from the western base of the Mt. of Olives to Jerusalem. Then with one accord the followers of Jesus burst out in praise for all the mighty works they had seen Him do. They hailed Him as God's King, and chanted that the effect of His coming was peace in heaven and glory in the highest. It is significant that they cried “Peace in heaven” rather than “Peace on earth.” There could not be peace on earth because the Prince of Peace had been rejected and was soon to be slain. But there would be peace in heaven as a result of the impending death of Christ on Calvary's cross and His ascension to heaven.
19:39, 40 The Pharisees were indignant that Jesus should be publicly honored in this way. They suggested that He should rebuke His disciples. But Jesus answered that such acclamation was inevitable. If the disciples wouldn't do it, the stones would! He thus rebuked the Pharisees for being more hard and unresponsive than the inanimate stones.
We are to be bold in our faith and not afraid to give praise to the One who deserves it most. For we know that all that we have is something that is worthless to us here on this earth. The things we have are to be used to glorify God.

Luke 19:28-30
28After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30"Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
See Luke 23:53
Speaking about where they laid Jesus in the tomb, and wrapped in linen where no one had ever yet been laid. Also symbolic to His triumph and victory over death!

The last journey to Jerusalem was over in fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus entered the city as the promised Christ, and focused His activity on the temple, the center of Jewish religious life. He cleansed it, thus claiming the authority of God and provoking controversy with, and rejection by, the Jewish leaders. Because of their rejection, Jerusalem with its temple would be destroyed. He told His disciples about that coming destruction and about His own return.
