Contextual Overview

1When they were nearing Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of His disciples, 2saying to them, "Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a [donkey's] colt tied, which has never been ridden by anyone; untie it and bring it here. 3"If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs it'; and immediately he will send it here." 4So they went away [to the village] and found a colt tied outside at a gate in the street, and they untied it. 5Some of the people who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" 6They replied to them just as Jesus had directed, and they allowed them to go.7They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and He sat on it. 8And many [of the people] spread their coats on the road [as an act of tribute and homage before a new king], and others [scattered a layer of] leafy branches which they had cut from the fields [honoring Him as Messiah]. 9Those who went in front and those who were following [Him] were shouting [in joy and praise], "Hosanna (Save, I pray)! BLESSED (praised, glorified) IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! 10"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they said unto them,.... The very express words,

even as Jesus had commanded: not that these were the words they said, but "the Lord hath need of him": upon which they said no more, were satisfied and contented, that they should untie the colt, and take it with them:

and they let them go; and the colt with them, very freely;
