Mark 11:1-11

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Rides Into Jerusalem On a Donkey To Shouts of Hosanna

11 And when they draw-near to Jerusalem— to Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives— He sends-forth two of His disciples, ² and says to them, “Go to the village before you. And immediately while proceeding into it, you will find a colt having been tied, on which none of mankind^[a] yet sat. Untie it, and be bringing it. ³ And if someone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’, say, ‘The Lord has need of it, and^[b] immediately He sends^[c] it back here^[d]’”. ⁴ And they went and found a colt having been tied at a door, outside on the street. And they untie it. ⁵ And some of the ones standing there were saying to them, “What are you doing untying the colt?” ⁶ But the ones spoke to them just as Jesus spoke, and they permitted them. And they bring the colt to Jesus. ⁷ And they throw their cloaks on it, and He sat on it. ⁸ And many spread their cloaks on the road. And others spread leafy-branches, having cut them from the fields. ⁹ And the ones going ahead and the ones following were crying-out “Hosanna! Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord. ¹⁰ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!”

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

¹¹ And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked-around-at everything, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
