Mark 11:1-10

Williams(i) 1 When they were getting near Jerusalem, that is, were at Bethphage and Bethany in front of the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples on ahead, 2 and said to them, "Go into the village in front of you, and as soon as you get into it, you will find a colt tied which has never been ridden by a man. Untie it and bring it here. 3 And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' answer, 'The Lord needs it, and will soon send it back here.'" 4 So off they went and found a colt tied outside a door at a street corner. They untied it, 5 but some bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" 6 And they answered as Jesus had directed them, and so they let them bring it. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus, and they threw their coats over it, and Jesus mounted it. 8 And many of the people spread their coats in the road, while others scattered layers of leaves cut from the fields. 9 Then those in front and those behind Him shouted: "Welcome Him! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord; 10 Blessed be the coming reign of our father David! Welcome Him from on high!"
