Gospel – Mark 11:1-10

1 When Jesus and his disciples drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples

2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately on entering it, you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

3 If anyone should say to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ reply, ‘The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.’”

4 So they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it.

5 Some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”

6 They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it.

7 So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it.

8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.

9 Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna!

10 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!”
