[11:1] As they approached Jerusalem, near the towns of Bethphage and Bethany, they came to the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead
[11:2] with these instructions: “Go to the village there ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
[11:3] And if someone asks you why you are doing that, say that the Master needs it and will send it back at once.”
[11:4] So they went and found a colt out in the street, tied to the door of a house. As they were untying it,
[11:5] some of the bystanders asked them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
[11:6] They answered just as Jesus had told them, and the crowd let them go.
[11:7] They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the animal, and Jesus got on.
[11:8] Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches in the field and spread them on the road.
[11:9] The people who were in front and those who followed behind began to shout, “Praise God! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord!
[11:10] God bless the coming kingdom of King David, our father! Praise be to God!”
[11:11] Jesus entered Jerusalem, went into the Temple, and looked around at everything. But since it was already late in the day, he went out to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
