Mark 11:1-14 ▼

1 And when they come near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends forth two of His disciples,

2 and says to them, “Go away into the village that is in front of you, and immediately, entering into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:

3 and if anyone may say to you, Why do you do this? Say that the LORD has need of it, and immediately He will send it here.”

4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door outside, by the two ways, and they loose it,

5 and certain of those standing there said to them, “What do you—loosing the colt?”

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

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it, and He sat on it,

8 and many spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, “Hosanna! Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD;

10 blessed is the coming kingdom, in the Name of the LORD, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!”

11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked around on all things, it being now evening, He went forth to Bethany with the Twelve.

12 And on the next day, they having come forth from Bethany, He hungered,

13 and having seen a fig tree far off having leaves, He came, if perhaps He will find anything in it, and having come to it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

14 and Jesus answering said to it, “No longer from you—throughout the age—may any eat fruit”; and His disciples were hearing.
