Luke 19:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:34

And they said, the Lord hath need of him.
] Or, our Lord, as the above versions in verse 31 (Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic). They used the words Christ directed them to, and it had the effect he said it would; for the owners both let them go, and the colt with them directly; (See Gill on Matthew 21:6) and (See Gill on Mark 11:6).
