Contextual Overview
1When they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’” 4So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it, 5and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6They answered them just as Jesus had said; so they let them go. 7They brought the donkey to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and he sat on it. 8Many people spread their clothes on the road, and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields. 9Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted: 10Blessed is the coming kingdomof our father David!Hosanna in the highest heaven!

And certain of them that stood there,.... The Ethiopic version reads, who walked there; who were either standing hard by, or walking about the place, being inhabitants of it; and either the owners of the colt, or their servants, or both:
said unto them, what do ye loosing the colt? What do ye mean by it? do you intend to take the colt away? what business have you with it? what right have you to do so? and what is your end in it?
