Mark:11:1-11

*
Now when they were approaching Jerusalem ,
near Bethphage and Bethany ,
at the Mount of Olives ,
*
Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them . "
Go to that village in front of you ,
and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied ,
upon which no man has ever sat ;
untie him and bring him here .
*
And if any man asks you ,
Why are you doing that ?"
answer ,
The Lord has need of him ,
and he will immediately send him back ."
*
So they went and found a colt tied outside a door ,
in the open street ,
and untied it .
*
And some of the bystanders began to say to them , "
What are you trying to do ,
untying that colt ?"
*
So they answered them just as Jesus had told them ,
and they let them take it .
*
Then they brought the colt to Jesus ,
and when they had thrown cloaks upon it ,
Jesus seated himself on it .
*
Then many spread their cloaks on the road ,
and others ,
soft leafy branches ,
which they had cut from the fields ;
*
and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting . "
Hosanna !
Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord !
*
Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David !
Hosanna ,
in the highest !"
*
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple ,
and after he had looked around at everything ,
as the hour was now late ,
he went out to Bethany with the Twelve .
