Context of Mark 11:6

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?” They 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. 8And many [of the people] spread their coats on the road [as an act of tribute and homage before a new king], and others [scattered a layer of] leafy branches which they had cut from the fields [honoring Him as Messiah].
