* WHEN they were approaching Jerusalem , near Bethphage and Bethany , on the Mount of Olives , Jesus sent two of his disciples * and told them , riversident @Mark:11:3 " /> * They went and found the colt tied near the door outside in the street , and they untied him . * Some of those who were standing there said to them , "What are you doing , untying the colt ?" * They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give , and the men let them take it . * They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it . * Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields . * Some went in front and some followed , shouting , "God save him ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord ! * Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David ! God in highest heaven save him !" * He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts . After inspecting everything , because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve . * On the next morning , after they had left Bethany , he was hungry , * and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it . But when he came to it , he found nothing but leaves , for it was not the season for figs . * Then he said to it , And his disciples heard him . * They came to Jerusalem , and he went into the Temple courts and began to cast out those who were buying and selling there .
