Luke 19:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:30

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 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 21:2)

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.

Luke 19:30 In-Context

28 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.

29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead.

30 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said.
