Mark 11:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 11:1

The Triumphal Entry

1 Now ^awhen they drew near Jerusalem, to¹ Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;

2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.

3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”

4 So they went their way, and found¹ the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it.

5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”

6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.

7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it.

8 ^aAnd many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna!
^a‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
