Mark 11:4-13 New English Translation (NET)

4. So they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it.

5. Some people standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”

6. They replied as Jesus had told them, and the bystanders let them go.

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

8. Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

9. Both those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

10. Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”

11. Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. And after looking around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve since it was already late.

12. Now the next day, as they went out from Bethany, he was hungry.

13. After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
