11:1-8      When they drew near to Jerusalem to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of olives, he sent two of his disciples and told them.  "Go into the village opposite you.  Entering into it immediately you will find a colt tied there, on which nobody has ever ridden.  Loosen it and bring it back.  If anyone says to you “Why are you doing this?"  sayThe Lord has need of it.”  Then bring it here immediately."  They went out and found a colt that had been tied at outside a door on the open street.  And they untied it.  Some of the people standing there said to them.  “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They said what Jesus had told them to say.  And the people let them go.  And they brought the colt to Jesus.  They threw their garments on it and he sat on it.  Also many of their garments were strewn along the way.  Others made wisps of twigs, cutting them out of the fields. 

15:21       They co-opted a man called Simon from Cyrene who was coming in from the country.  He was the father of Alexander and Rufus.  They required him to carry the cross of (Jesus).
