Mar 11:2

Mar 11:2and *said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

Mar 11:3

Mar 11:3“And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he [fn]will send it back here.”

Mar 11:10

Blessed^G2127 is the coming^G2064 kingdom^G932 of our father^G3962 David^G1138;

Hosanna^G5614 in the highest^G5310!”

Mar 11:11

And Jesus entered^G1525 Jerusalem^G2414 and came into the temple^G2413; and after looking^G4017 around^G4017 at everything^G3956, He left^G1831 for Bethany^G963 with the twelve^G1427, since it was already^G2235 late^G3796.

Mar 11:28

Mar 11:28and began saying to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?”

Mar 11:32

Mar 11:32“But if we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the crowd, for everyone was regarding John to have been a real prophet.

Mar 11:33

Mar 11:33And answering Jesus, they *said, “We do not know.” And Jesus *said to them, “Neither [fn]will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
