Context

The Triumphal Entry

³³As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”³⁴“The Lord needs it,” they answered.³⁵Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

Summary

In Luke 19:34, Jesus instructs His disciples to bring Him a colt to ride into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. This event symbolizes Jesus' humility and kingship, as He enters the city not on a majestic horse but on a humble donkey. The disciples' obedience in fetching the colt demonstrates their submission to Jesus' authority and their recognition of His divine mission. This passage also foreshadows Jesus' sacrificial journey to the cross, where He would ultimately offer Himself as the perfect atonement for sin.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

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 Mat 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"; See Gill on Mat 21:8.
