Mark 11:1–11

¹And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples, ²and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no child of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it here. ³And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither. ⁴And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him. ⁵And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt? ⁶And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them do it. ⁷And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it; ⁸and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees and went on strewing them on the way. ⁹And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed be he that comes in the Lord’s name. ¹⁰Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest! ¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
