Luke 19:37First Nations VersionWhen he reached the foot of Olive Mountain, the whole village was in an uproar. His followers began to sing to Creator and shout out loud, praising him for the powerful signs they had seen. See the chapter |
As soon as he said this, the man could see! The people laughed with joy as the man blinked his eyes and looked into their faces. Right then the man began to walk the road with Creator Sets Free (Jesus), giving honor to the Great Spirit. And all the people who saw this also sang songs to thank the Great Spirit.
Later that day Creator Sets Free (Jesus) was sitting on Olive Mountain across from the sacred lodge. From there he could look across the valley and see Village of Peace (Jerusalem) and the sacred lodge. While he was there, four of his followers—Stands on the Rock (Peter), He Takes Over (James), He Shows Goodwill (John), and Stands with Courage (Andrew)—came to him in private.
When he came to House of Figs (Bethany) at the foot of Olive Mountain, he said to two of his followers, “Go to House of Unripe Figs (Bethphage) on the other side of the mountain. When you come into the village, you will see a young donkey colt tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
