Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 And as they approached 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 opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”

4 And they went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it.

5 And some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”

6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it; and He sat on it.

8 And many spread their garments in the road, and others spread leafy branches, having cut them from the fields.

9 And those who went in front and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!”
