Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 And when they draw nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends away two of His disciples,

2 and says to them, Go into the village over against you: and immediately entering into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has ever sat; loosing him, lead him away.

3 And if any one may say to you, Why do you this? say to him, that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he sends him hither.

4 Then they departed, and found the colt tied at the door without at the crossing of the road; and they are loosing him.

5 And certain ones of those standing there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the colt?

6 And they said to them as Jesus commanded: and they permitted them.

7 And they lead the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and He sat on him.

8 And many strewed their garments in the road; and others were cutting down the branches of the trees, (and strewing them in the road),

9 And those going before, and those following after, continued to cry out, Hosanna: blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord:

10 blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!
