Mark 11: 1-11
When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany,
near the Mount of
Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into
the village ahead of you,
and immediately as you enter it you will find tied there a colt
that has never been ridden;
untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing
this?’ just say this: ‘The
Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’ ” 4 They
went away and found a colt
tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, 5
some of the bystanders
said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 They told
them what Jesus had
said, and they allowed them to take it. 7 Then they brought the
colt to Jesus and threw
their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their
cloaks on the road, and
others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. 9
Then those who went ahead
and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one
who comes in the
name of the Lord!10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor
David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!” 11 Then he entered Jerusalem and
went into the temple,
and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already
late, he went out to
Bethany with the twelve.
