Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2 and said to them: Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him and bring him.

3 And if any say to you: "Why are you doing this? say that the Lord has need of him; and he will immediately send him hither.

4 And they went and found the colt tied near the door without, in the street. And they loosed him.

5 And some of those who were standing there, said to them: Why are you loosing the colt?

6 And they said to them as Jesus had commanded; and they gave them permission.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put their mantles upon him, and he sat on him.

8 And many spread their mantles in the road, and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the road.

9 And those who went before, and those who followed after, cried, saying: Hosanna. Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our Father David. Hosanna in the highest.
