Mark 11:1-10 ▼

1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2 and said to them, |Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.

3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once.|

4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

5 Some of those who stood there asked them, |What are you doing, untying the young donkey?|

6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.

9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, |Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest.|
