Mark 11:1-11

The Triumphal Entry

1 aNow when they drew near to Jerusalem, to bBethphage and Bethany, at cthe Mount of Olives, Jesus
Greek he
sent etwo of his disciples
2and said to them, Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, fon which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8And many gspread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, hHosanna! iBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10Blessed is jthe coming kkingdom of lour father mDavid! nHosanna oin the highest!”

11 pAnd he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, qhe went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Luke 19:29-40

29 rWhen he drew near to Bethphage and sBethany, at tthe mount that is called Olivet, he sent utwo of the disciples, 30saying, Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, von which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32So those who were sent went away and found it wjust as he had told them. 33And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36And as he rode along, they xspread their cloaks on the road. 37As he was drawing nearalready on the way down the Mount of Olivesythe whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice zfor all the mighty works that they had seen, 38saying, aaBlessed is abthe King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and acglory in the highest!” 39 adAnd some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, aethe very stones would cry out.”

John 12:12-19

The Triumphal Entry

12The next day afthe large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13So they took branches of agpalm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ahHosanna! Blessed is aihe who comes in the name of the Lord, even ajthe King of Israel!” 14And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

15 akFear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey’s colt!”
16 alHis disciples did not understand these things at first, but amwhen Jesus was glorified, then anthey remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 aoThe crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18The reason why the crowd went to meet him apwas that they heard he had done this sign. 19So the Pharisees said to one another, aq“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, arthe world has gone after him.”
