Mark 11:1-11
Wycliffe Bible
11 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,[a],
2 and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and at once as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet[b]; untie ye, and bring him.
3 And if any man say any thing to you, What do ye? say ye, that he is needful to the Lord, and at once he shall let him go hither [and anon he shall leave him hither].
4 And they went forth, and found a colt tied before the gate withoutforth, in the meeting of two ways; and they untied him.
5 And some of them that stood there said to them, What do ye, untying the colt?
6 And they said to them, as Jesus commanded them; and they left it to them [and they let go to them].
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and they laid on him their clothes, and Jesus sat on him[c].
8 And many strewed their clothes in the way, and other men cutted branches off trees[d], and strewed in the way.
9 And they that went before, and that followed, cried, and said [saying], Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David that is to come; Hosanna in highest things.[e]
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had seen all things about, when it was even[f], he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.

Mark 11:1-11
New Matthew Bible
Christ rides into Jerusalem. The fig tree dries up. The buyers and sellers are cast out of the temple. The Pharisees question Christ.
11 And when they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany beside the Mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples 2 and said to them, Go your ways into the town that is in front of you. And as soon as you have entered into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Untie him and bring him here. 3 And if anyone asks you why you are doing this, say that the Lord has need of him, and straightaway he will send him here.
4 And they went their way and found a colt tied by the door outside, in a place where two roads met, and they untied him. 5 And some of the people standing there said to them, What are you doing, untying the colt? 6 And they answered just as Jesus had instructed, and the people let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it, and he sat upon it. 8 And many spread their garments in the way. Others cut down branches of the trees and strew them in the way. 9 And those who went before, and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom that comes in the name of him who is Lord of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!
11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple. And when he had looked round about upon everything, and now that evening time was come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

1599 Geneva Bible
11 1 Christ entereth into Jerusalem riding on an ass. 13 The fruitless fig tree is cursed. 15 Sellers and buyers are cast out of the Temple. 23 The force of faith. 24 Faith in prayer. 25 The brother’s offenses must be pardoned. 27 The Priests ask by what authority he wrought those things that he did. 30 Whence John’s baptism was.
1 And (A)[a]when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany unto the mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,
2 And said unto them, Go your ways into that town that is over against you, and as soon as ye shall enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat: loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? Say that the Lord hath need of him, and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found a colt, tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met, and they loosed him.
5 Then certain of them, that stood there, said unto them, What do ye loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them, as Jesus had commanded them: So they let them go.
7 ¶ (B)And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: [b]blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord.
10 [c]Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the Name of the Lord of our father David: Hosanna, O thou which art in the highest heavens.
11 (C)So Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the Temple: and when he had looked about on all things, and now it was evening, he went forth unto Bethany with the twelve.

Authorized (King James) Version
11 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. 5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
