Context

The Triumphal Entry

⁵and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”⁶The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.⁷Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.

Summary

In Mark 11:6, the disciples were instructed by Jesus to bring a colt to Him that had never been ridden. This act fulfilled the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9, symbolizing Jesus' humility and peaceful mission as the King of Israel. By riding on a colt instead of a horse, Jesus demonstrated His intention to bring salvation and peace rather than conquest and war. This event marked the beginning of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, which ultimately led to His sacrificial death for the redemption of humanity.
