Marcos 11

1 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

2 and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and anon as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet; untie ye, and bring him.

3 And if any man say anything to you, What do ye? say ye, that he is needful to the Lord, 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.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and they laid on him their clothes, and Jesus sat on him.

8 And many strewed their clothes in the way, and other men cutted branches [or boughs] off trees, and strewed in the way.

9 And they that went before, and that pursued, cried, and said, 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 [or Hosanna in highest].

11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had seen all things about, when it was even[ing], he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.
