Mark 11:1-7

1When they were nearing Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of His disciples,

2saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a [donkey’s] colt tied, which has never been ridden by anyone; untie it and bring it here.

3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it’; and immediately he will send it here.”

4So they went away [to the village] and found a colt tied outside at a gate in the street, and they untied it.

5Some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”

6They replied to them just as Jesus had directed, and they allowed them to go.

7They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and He sat on it.
