Mark 11:1-11

1 The King Enters Jerusalem Matthew 21:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19

When they came near Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} sent two of his disciples on aheadMatt 21:1; Luke 19:29; John 12:14 2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you go into it, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever sat on. Untie it, and bring it along. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?,’ say, ‘The Lord needs it,’ and he will send it back here at once.”

4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it, 5 some men standing there asked them, “What are you doing untying that colt?” 6 The disciples ^{▼▼Lit. They} told them what Jesus had said, and the men ^{▼▼Lit. they} let them go.

7 They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their coats upon it, and he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.Matt 21:8 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting,Ps 118:26

“Hosanna! ^{▼▼Hosanna is Heb. for Please save or Praise.}

How blessed is the one who comes

in the name of the Lord!

10 How blessed is the coming kingdomPs 148:1

of our forefather David!

Hosanna in the highest heaven!” ^{▼▼Ps 118:25-26; Ps 148:1}

11 Then Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple and looked around at everything. Since it was already late, he went out with the twelve to Bethany.Matt 21:12

Luke 19:28-38

28 The King Enters Jerusalem Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; John 12:12-19After Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} had said this, he traveled on and went up to Jerusalem.Mark 10:32 29 When he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples on aheadMatt 21:1; Mark 11:1 30 and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever sat on. Untie it, and bring it along. ^{▼▼Lit. has ever sat on} 31 If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 So those who were sent went off and found it as he had told them. 33 While they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 The disciples ^{▼▼Lit. They} answered, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and Jesus sat upon it.2Kings 9:13; Matt 21:7; Mark 11:7; John 12:14

36 As he was riding along, people ^{▼▼Lit. they} kept spreading their coats on the road.Matt 21:8 37 He was now approaching the descent from the Mount of Olives. The whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice and to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen. 38 They said,Ps 118:26; Luke 2:14; 13:35; Eph 2:14

“How blessed is the king

who comes in the name of the Lord! ^{▼▼Ps 118:26}

Peace in heaven,

and glory in the highest heaven!”

John 12:12-19

12 The King Enters Jerusalem Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40The next day the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem.Matt 21:8; Mark 11:8; Luke 19:35-36 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting,Ps 118:25-26

“Hosanna! ^{▼▼Hosanna is Heb. for Please save or Praise}

How blessed is the one who comes

in the name of the Lord, ^{▼▼Ps 118:25-26} the King of Israel!”

14 Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:Matt 21:7

15 “Stop being afraid, daughter ^{▼▼I.e. people} of Zion.Zech 9:9

Look, your king is coming,

sitting upon a donkey's colt!” ^{▼▼Zech 9:9}

16 At first his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people ^{▼▼Lit. they} had done these things to him.Luke 18:34; John 7:39; 14:26 17 So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen. ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks to what they had seen} 18 This accounts for the crowd going out to meet him, for they had heard that he had performed this sign.John 12:11 19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!”John 11:47-48
