The Word Proclaimed - Mark 11:1-11 (NRSV)

When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount
of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, Go into the village ahead of
you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never
been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? just
say this, The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately. They went away
and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, some
of the bystanders said to them, What are you doing, untying the colt? They told
them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the
colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their
cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.
Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,
Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around
at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
