This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The disciples carry out tile order:
v. 4. And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
v. 5. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
v. 6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.
v. 7. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and He sat upon him.
The disciples carried out Christ's instructions. Coming to the hamlet or group of farm buildings, they followed the road around the farmyard. And there, tied to the door, probably of a stable, or at the door-post of a larger building in the square of the hamlet, they found the colt, which they promptly proceeded to unloose. Some of those that were standing nearby, very likely some of tile laborers of the place, objected and asked for all explanation. But tile disciples used tile words which Jesus had taught them. And so the men, having full assurance that the beast would be safely and speedily restored to the owner, gave them leave to lead tile colt off. And so they brought tile animal to Jesus, throwing their mantles upon him for a saddle, so that Jesus could sit upon the colt.
