Contextual Overview

Untying it, bring it . 31 And if anyone asks, Why do you untie it ? you shall say to them, The Lord has need of it. 32 And going, those having been sent found as He told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why do you untie the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord has need of it. 35 And they led it to Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as he went,.... Riding on the colt towards Jerusalem:

they spread their clothes in the way; not the disciples, for they had put their garments upon the colt; but the multitude, which either came with him from Jericho, and other parts, or that met him from Jerusalem, or both; see Matthew 21:8 and so the Persic version here; "men put off their clothes and cast them in the way, that he might pass over then"; Matthew 21:8- :.
