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 their way and found the colt tied outside by the door at a place where two ways met, and they loosed him.

5 And certain of those who stood there said unto them, "What do ye, loosing the colt?"

6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him, and He sat upon him.

8 And many spread their garments upon the way, and others cut down branches off the trees and strewed them upon the way.
