Luke 19:40

Luke 19:40 American Standard Version (ASV)

And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

But he said, “If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise.”

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if my followers didn’t say these things, then the stones would cry out.”

But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”

Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these [people] keep silent, the stones will cry out [in praise]!” [Hab 2:11]

He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

Jesus responded, “Listen to me. If my followers were silenced, the very stones would break forth with praises!”

He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
