This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15. μὴ φοβοῦ. The quotation is freely made from Zec 9:9 : μὴ φοβοῦ is substituted for χαῖρε σφόδρα, and the whole is abbreviated. In writing ὁ βας. σου and πῶλον ὄνου the Evangelist seems to be translating direct from the Hebrew. The best editions of LXX. omit σου, and all have πῶλον νέον. Comp. Joh 1:29, Joh 6:45, Joh 19:37. If the writer of this Gospel knew the O.T. in Hebrew, he almost certainly was a Jew.
