Luke 19:31

31 If anyone says anything, asks, 'What are you doing?' say, 'His Master needs him.'"

Luke 19:31 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:31

And if any man ask you, why do ye loose [him]?
&c.] As our Lord, being God omniscient, knew this question would be asked by the owners, and therefore prepares his disciples with an answer to it:

thus shall ye say unto him, because the Lord hath need of him.
The Syriac and Persic versions read "our Lord", yours, and ours; probably the owners of the colt might be such as knew the Lord Jesus Christ, and by this way of speaking of him, knew, at once, who was meant, and so made no scruple of sending him, as Christ told them(See Gill on :) (See Gill on Mark 9:3)

Luke 19:31 In-Context

29 When he got near Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called Olives, he sent off two of the disciples with instructions:

30 "Go to the village across from you. As soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tethered, one that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it.

31 If anyone says anything, asks, 'What are you doing?' say, 'His Master needs him.'"

32 The two left and found it just as he said.

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said, "What are you doing untying the colt?"
