Paper 2
Revise: Entry Into JerusalemJesus sends two disciples into the village ahead. He tells them that they will find a tied colt which no one has ever ridden. They must untie it and bring it to him.
Keep to Mark’s details: one colt and branches cut from the fields. Mark does not specifically name palm branches.
Explain the symbolism as well as retelling the events: the colt suggests humble kingship, while cloaks and the reference to David suggest royal honour.
Link the colt to Zechariah 9:9, but do not claim that Mark explicitly quotes this prophecy.
