Genesis 31:36-42 and Matthew 21:;1-11 (NIV)

Genesis 31:36-42
Laban Pursues Jacob

36  Jacob was angry and took Laban to task. “What is my crime?” he asked Laban. “How have I wronged you that you hunt me down?
37  Now that you have searched through all my goods, what have you found that belongs to your household? Put it here in front of your relatives and mine, and let them judge between the two of us.
38  “I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten rams from your flocks.
39  I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen by day or night.
40  This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41  It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times.
42  If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you.”


Matthew 21:1-11
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
1    As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2    saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 
3    If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4    This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5    “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
6    The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7    They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
8    A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9    The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”  “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10   When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11   The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
