Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 When they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples

2 and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

3 If anyone says to you, Why are you doing this?’ say, The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

4 So they went and found a young donkey outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it,

5 and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?”

6 They answered them just as Jesus had said, so they let them go.

7 Then they brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their robes on it, and He sat on it.

8 Many people spread their robes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.

9 Then those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting: Hosanna! He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One!

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