Mark 11:1–9
1When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples↗
2and said to them,“Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.↗
3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”↗
4They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.↗
5Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”↗
6They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.↗
7They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.↗
8Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.↗
9Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!↗
