Mark 11:1-11
Tree of Life Version
Ben-David Enters Jerusalem
11 Now as they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, Yeshua sends two of His disciples 2 and says to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. Right away as you enter it, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever sat upon.[a] Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Master needs it.’ And right away he will send it back here.”[b]
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a door. And they untied it. 5 Some people standing there began saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
6 They answered just as Yeshua had told them, and the people let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Yeshua and laid their cloaks on it, and He sat on it. 8 Many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread branches cut from the fields. [c] 9 Those going before and those following kept shouting,
“Hoshia-na! Baruch ha-ba b’shem Adonai!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!
Hoshia-na in the highest!”[d]
11 And He entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around at everything, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve, since it was already late.
