Contextual Overview

28After he finished with his story, Jesus struck a long trot for Jerusalem. His twelve cowboys lined up behind him and followed. 29When they neared Bethphage and Bethany at the Olive Hill, he sent two cowboys ahead. 30"Go over there and you will find a young donkey that has never been ridden tied up next to a tree. Bring it to me. 31And if anyone asks what you are doing, say, 'The Top Hand needs it.'" 32So they cowboys rode ahead, and everything was just as Jesus had said. 33Even when they untied the colt, the owners asked them what they were doing. 34The two cowboys said, "The Top Hand needs it for a little while." 35They brought the colt to Jesus and threw a saddle blanket on it for him to sit on. 36As he rode into Jerusalem, people laid their coats down on the ground in front of him. 37When he turned down the road leading down from Olive Hill, all of the people following him began praising God for sending the Top Hand and all the miracles he had done.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Saying, go ye into the village over against [you],.... What village this was, is not said by any of the evangelists; it seems to be either Bethany, or Nob; and rather the latter, since the village of Bethany was fifteen furlongs, or near two miles from Jerusalem, John 11:18 and therefore must have been passed by Christ; whereas the tract called Bethany, at the Mount of Olives where Christ now was, was but a sabbath day's journey, or about a mile, Luke 24:50 compared with Acts 1:12.

Acts 1:12- :

in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied: in

Matthew 21:2 it is said, an ass, and a colt with her; which agrees with the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9 and which, no doubt, was matter of fact: nor does Mark and Luke contradict it, though they do not express it:

whereon yet never man sat, loose him, and bring [him] hither; for it seems that Christ stayed at the above place, until the disciples went and fetched it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
