Mark 11:1-11

Revised Geneva Translation

11 And when they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount of Olives, He sent forth two of His disciples,

² and said to them, “Go into that town over there. And as soon as you enter it, you shall find a colt, tied, upon which never a man sat. Untie him and bring him.

³ “And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ Say that the Lord has need of him. And He will return him immediately.”

⁴ And they went their way and found a colt, tied by the door outside, at an intersection. And they untied him.

⁵ Then some of those who stood there said to them, “Why are you untying that colt?”

⁶ And they said to them as Jesus had commanded them. So, they let them go.

⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus and laid their garments on him. And He sat upon him.

⁸ And many spread their garments along the way. Others cut down branches off the trees and spread them in the way.

⁹ And those who went before and who followed, cried, saying, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!

¹⁰ “Blessed is the Kingdom that comes in the Name of the Lord of our father David! Hosanna! O You Who are in the highest heavens!”

¹¹ So Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the Temple. And when He had looked around at everything (and it was evening) He went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
