PALM SUNDAY Year B

Gospel Mark 11:1-10

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent off two of the disciples with this instruction: “Go to the village straight ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it you will find tethered there a colt on which no one has ridden. Untie it and bring it back.  If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’ say, ‘The Rabbi needs it but will send it back very shortly.'”  So they went off, and finding a colt tethered out on the street near a gate, they untied it.  Some of the bystanders said to them, “What do you mean by untying that colt?”  They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them take it.  They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks across its back, and he sat on it.  Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.  And everyone around Jesus, in front or in back of him, cried out:

Hosanna!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Our God!

Blessed is the coming reign of our ancestor!

Hosanna in the highest!

The Good News as spoken through Mark.
