Mark 11:6
4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5 and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8 Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
