Context of Mark 11:7

5Some people were standing there. They asked the two disciples, ‘What are you doing? Why are you undoing the donkey's rope?’ 6The disciples answered them. They repeated what Jesus had told them to say. The people then let them take the donkey away. The two disciples brought the young donkey to Jesus. They put their coats on its back and Jesus sat on it. 8Many people then put their coats down on the road. Other people cut branches down from trees in the fields. They put the branches down on the road as well. 9Many people went in front of Jesus, and other people followed him. All of them were shouting, ‘We praise God! May the Lord God bless the king who comes with his authority!
