Mark 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:6

And they said unto them
The very express words,

even as Jesus had commanded:
not that these were the words they said, but "the Lord hath need of him": upon which they said no more, were satisfied and contented, that they should untie the colt, and take it with them:

and they let them go;
and the colt with them, very freely; (See Gill on Matthew 21:6).

Mark 11:6 In-Context

4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street; and they untied it.
5 And those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
6 And they told them what Jesus had said; and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
8 And many spread their garments on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.
